Moderate-Severe White Matter Lesion Predicts Delayed Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Most existing studies have focused on the correlation between white matter lesion (WML) and baseline intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), whereas few studies have investigated the relationship between WML severity and delayed IVH after admission. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between WML severity and delayed IVH and to verify the association between WML and baseline IVH. A total of 480 patients with spontaneous ICH from February 2018 to October 2020 were selected. WML was scored using the Van Swieten Scale, with scores of 0–2 representing nonslight WML and scores of 3–4 representing moderate-severe WML. We determined the presence of IVH on baseline (< 6 h) and follow-up computed tomography (< 72 h) images. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of baseline and delayed IVH. Among 480 patients with ICH, 172 (35.8
