POZO RIVERO, Alexis; FERNANDEZ LORA, Fausto  and  FERNANDEZ LORA, Lilian. Implications of clinical and epidemiological factors on the prognosis of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. MEDISAN [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.6, pp.747-753. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study was carried out in 49 patients with intraparenchymal hemorrhage admitted to the Service of Cerebrovascular Diseases of "Saturnino Lora" Provincial Teaching Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January to December 2006 to identify the factors that impact on the prognosis of this disease. Male sex and the age group between 45 and 54 years prevailed in the series. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the main conditions that implied a poor prognosis; and the complications with a higher mortality were bronchopneumonias and respiratory arrhythmias.

Keywords : intraparenchymal hemorrhage; clinical and epidemiological factors; Service of Cerebrovascular Diseases; secondary health care.
