Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:
In this thesis, I have studied the incidence rates of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in 1995-2013 in 38,000 attendees of the Tromsø Study, the impact of changes in risk factors over time on ICH incidence, and the short- and long-term mortality after ICH.
High age, male sex and high blood pressure were associated with ICH. Incidence rates decreased in women but remained stable in men. Lower blood pressure levels and a steeper decrease in blood pressure in women may have contributed to the difference.
The mortality rates remained stable. Compared with the general population, patients with ICH who survived the first 30 days had a 60% increased risk for death during long-term follow-up. High cholesterol, smoking and use of anticoagulant drugs increased the risk of death in patients with ICH.
The results underline the importance of improved treatment of blood pressure to prevent ICH. There is also a need for improved acute treatment and more knowledge on preventive treatment after ICH.
