Objective: Oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) with warfarin increases mortality and disability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the result of increased ICH volume and risk of hematoma expansion. We investigated whether OAT also influences risk of development of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), the volume of IVH and IVH expansion, and whether IVH is a substantive mediator of the overall effect of OAT on ICH outcome. Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected single-center cohort of 1,879 consecutive ICH cases (796 lobar, 865 deep, 153 cerebellar, 15 multiple location, 50 primary IVH) from 1999 to 2009. ICH and IVH volumes at presentation, as well as hematoma expansion (Ͼ33% or Ͼ6 mL increase) and IVH expansion (Ͼ2 mL increase), were determined using established semiautomated methods. Outcome was assessed at 90 days using either the modified Rankin Scale or Glasgow Outcome Scale. Results:Warfarin use was associated with IVH risk, IVH volume at presentation, and IVH expansion in both lobar and deep ICH (all p Ͻ 0.05) in a dose-response relationship with international normalized ratio. Warfarin was associated with poor outcome in both lobar and deep ICH (p Ͻ 0.01), and Ͼ95% of this effect was accounted for by baseline ICH and IVH volumes, as well as ICH and IVH expansion. Conclusion: Warfarin increases IVH volume and risk of IVH expansion in lobar and deep ICH.These findings (along with effects on ICH volume and expansion) likely represent the mechanisms by which anticoagulation worsens ICH functional outcome.

Hematoma expansion has been consistently found to be more frequent in OAT-ICH, and there is suggestive evidence that warfarin use is associated with larger ICH volume at presentation. 8 -10 We investigated whether OAT is associated with increased risk of developing IVH, as well as with increased IVH volume at presentation and rates of IVH expansion over time.

“…Other studies also showed increased risks of poor functional outcome and death [16,30,33]. The occurrence of hematoma expansion is related to initial hematoma size; smaller hematomas are less likely to expand [16,34,35].…”
