Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has become increasingly common in recent decades, driven by events in older people, according to an analysis of the Framingham Heart Study.
The incidence of ICH increased steadily from 25 cases per 100,000 person-years in 1948-1986 (period 1) to 73 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2000-2016 (period 3), reported a team led by Vasileios-Arsenios Lioutas, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School.
Altogether, people 75 years and older had ICH reach 176 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2000-2016 (up from 88 per 100,000 in 1948-1986) in the study published online in JAMA Neurology.
