According to the World Health Organization report, stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide (after cancer and ischemic heart disease), and intracerebral hemorrhage occupiers higher mortality rate than subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and other kind of strokes. Clinical data shows that whether hemorrhage strokes or ischemic strokes, hypertension is the most dominant risk factor. There are many investigations of mortality rate of intracerebral hemorrhage in Taiwan, but there is no statistical analysis about the age including the younger and hypertension-associated intracerebral hemorrhage patients. For the reasons mentioned above, our research focuses on following points: first, the distribution of numbers in different age groups of hypertension-associated intracerebral hemorrhage patients; second, the distribution of mortality rates in different age groups of hypertension-associated intracerebral hemorrhage patients; third, the cause of independent risk factors of hypertension-associated intracerebral hemorrhage.
