What are the temporal trends in case fatality for hemorrhagic stroke?
Data are limited to assess case fatality for hemorrhagic strokes. A study restricted to a younger population (20-44 years of age) reported lower 30-day case fatality after SAH in women than in men (9% versus 17%).41 Studies have shown differing patterns of ICH case fatality by sex. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (ARIC) reported a lower 30-day ICH case fatality for women than for men but the Northern Manhattan Stroke Study found slightly higher 1-month case fatality for women than men (40% versus 35%).41 Temporal trends in case fatality for hemorrhagic stroke are largely unreported.
