Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of intensive blood pressure reduction in patients with moderate to severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within the subjects recruited in Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage 2 trial. Design: Randomized, multicenter, 2 group, open-label clinical trial. Setting: A total of 110 sites in the USA, Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Germany. Patients: A total of 1,000 patients underwent randomization from May 2011 till September 2015. Interventions: We analyzed the effect of intensive (goal 110-139 mm Hg) over standard (goal 140-179 mm Hg) systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction using intravenous nicardipine within 4.5 h of symptom onset in moderate to severe grade subjects with ICH in a non-prespecified analysis. Moderate to severe grade was defined by Glasgow Coma Scale score Keywords: Intracerebral hemorrhage, Clinical trial, Death or disability, Systolic blood pressure, Hematoma expansion
