Interaction of atrial fibrillation and antithrombotics on outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Patients with AF and ICH had increased mortality; however, AF had no independent effect on mortality after adjustment for antithrombotic pretreatment. Conversely, antithrombotic pretreatment had a deleterious effect on outcome in patients with ICH without AF, but no detectable effect in patients with AF with ICH.
