Factors Related to Nonachievement of Intensive Blood Pressure-Lowering Target in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

In this study, the intensive BP-lowering goal was not achieved in about half of the patients with ICH, despite the high proportion of patients receiving antihypertensive medications. This group of patients had poorer outcomes and higher mortality rates at 3 months. High BP at presentation may be difficult to control in patients with high clinical severity of ICH despite aggressive management.
