Intracerebral hemorrhage outcome: Apolipoprotein E genotype, hematoma, and edema volumes

Article abstract We investigated whether early hematoma or edema volumes could explain the adverse association between APOE e4 and survival in intracerebral hemorrhage. Among 102 patients, e4 carriers had a higher mortality rate than non–e4 carriers (38 versus 24%, p = 0.05). Nonsurvivors had larger hematoma (75.5 cm 3 versus 27.1 cm 3 , p 3 versus 17.1 cm 3 , p
