Assessment of the effect of short-term factors on surgical treatments for hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage

Hypertension is the most significant risk factor for a spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Approximately 40% of patients with an ICH die within 30 days, and most survivors endure severe disabilities [1,2]. The prognosis of standardized treatments of hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhages (HICHs) shows that standardized surgical treatments are superior to standardized medications [3,4]. However, many surgical treatments for HICHs are available, such as minimally invasive aspiration, keyhole craniotomy and haematoma aspiration with extended pterional and decompressive craniotomy.
