Predisposing Factors to Enlargement of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hematoma
Stroke 28:2370-2375, Kazui,S.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A patient examined>6 hours after ictus who has a hematoma volume<25 cm3 is unlikely to experience further hematoma growth.Prevention of brain infarction and premorbid management of liver disease may serve to lower the risk of hematoma enlargement.Although it remains controversial whether antihypertensive drugs should be used in the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage,poorly controlled diabetics with high systolic blood pressure (>/=200 mm Hg)on admission also were at high risk of hematoma enlargement.
