JAMA Network Open. 2022;5(3):e221103–e221103. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.1103. This article offers an understanding of risk factors that contribute to neurologic disability and mortality in addition to traditional vascular risk factors after intracerebral hemorrhage in a large cohort study. Novel risk factors identified included older age, pre-ICH modified Rankin score, and presence of infection in addition to size and location of ICH. These additional characteristics can be utilized to identify patients at greater risk of neurological disability and mortality for targeted transitional care interventions.

(In eng). https://doi.org/10.1161/jaha.120.020528. Considering the impact of earlier neurological recovery for intracerebral hemorrhage compared to ischemic stroke is an important consideration in the neurocritical care continuum for rehabilitation goals. This article examines the impact of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 2010 prospective payment system on discharges to inpatient rehabilitation facilities. They found fewer discharges to inpatient rehabilitation among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. This suggests that health policy does affect access to intensive post-acute rehabilitations. In order to improve health care across the neurocritical care continuum, facilitating health policities must be instituted for sustainable impact.
