Frailty was significantly associated with greater mortality and PFO after incident SICH, even after adjusting for a priori confounders. Frail male individuals may be predisposed to poorer outcomes from higher prevalence of cortical atrophy. The use of CFS in younger individuals may aid management by predicting outcomes after incident SICH. Identifying frail individuals with incident SICH could aid in decision-making and the surgical management of SICH.
