    Studies have shown that patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are at increased risk of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
    .

    Aayushi Garg from the United States studied the recurrence rate of cerebrovascular events in patients with ICH with and without CAA
    .

    The findings were presented as a poster abstract at the International Stroke Congress 2022 (ISC 2022)

    STUDY INTRODUCTION Using the national readmission database from 2016-2018, we identified hospitalized patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of ICH with or without CAA
    .

    Inpatients aged >55 years, survival to discharge, and known discharge disposition were included for further analysis
    .

    Propensity score matching was used to match differences in demographics, comorbidities, and disease severity between CAA and non-CAA groups
    .

    Survival analyses were performed to assess the incidence of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the propensity-matched group
    .

     MAIN STUDY RESULTS ➤ A total of 194,290 patients with ICH met the study inclusion criteria; 8,247 had CAA and 186,043 did not
    .

    After propensity score matching, we identified 7857 CAA hospitalized patients and 7874 non-CAA hospitalized patients
    .

    During a mean follow-up period of 6 months, CAA patients were associated with ICH [hazard ratio (HR): 3.
    4, 95% CI: 2.
    6-4.
    6, P<0.
    001] and SAH (HR: 2.
    5, 95% CI: 1.
    2-5.
    4, P 0.
    007) and more likely to be readmitted
    .

     ➤ However, the readmission rate due to AIS was not statistically significantly different (HR: 0.
    7, 95% CI: 0.
    5-1.
    0, p 0.
    061) [Figure 1]
    .

    Figure 1 ➤ Age (HR: 0.
    96/age growth rate, 95%CI: 0.
    95-0.
    98, P<0.

    23; 95%CI: 1.
    92-5.
    41, P<0.
    001) and intracerebral hemorrhage Readmission was independently related
    .

     CONCLUSIONS: ICH patients with a secondary diagnosis of CAA were three times more likely to be readmitted for ICH than non-CAA patients
