What are the risk factors for ICH recurrence?
The risk factors for ICH recurrence include hypertension, older age, and location of the initial hemorrhage (deep versus lobar). Additionally, carriers of the apolipoprotein E 2 or patients with previous ICH before the present and patients with a greater number of microbleeds (particularly microbleeds in lobar brain locations) on gradient echo MRI appear to be at higher risk for ICH recurrence.
