Risk Factors for Impaired Outcome after Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Arch Neurol 52:1193-1200, Juvela,S., 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
One year after hemorrhage,64 patients(41%)were independent and 34 patients (22%)were dependent in the activities of daily living;58 patients(37%)had died.Risk of death was predicted,after adjustment for sex,age, hypertension,and body mass index,by clinical condition at admission according to the Glasgow Coma Scale(P<.001)and the occurrence of subcortical hematoma(odds ratio[OR],0.18;95%confidence interval[CI],0.04 to 0.91;P=.04).In addition to severity and location of the hemorrhage,the age of the patient and the amount of alcohol consumed within 1 week seem to be independent determinants of outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage.
