Abstract:
Differences exist between genders in intracerebral hemorrhage cause, epidemiology, and outcomes. These gender differences are in part attributable to physiologic differences; however, demographic, social/behavioral risk factors, along with health care system variation and potential family and/or clinician bias play a role as well. These factors vary from region to region and interact, making comprehensive and definitive conclusions regarding sex differences a challenging task. Differences between the genders in intracerebral hemorrhage epidemiology and extensive differences in underlying pathophysiology, intervention, risk factors, and outcome are all discussed.
