Hello, my name is
Floris Schreuder,
and I work as a
vascular neurologist
and clinical scientist
with specific interest in
intracerebral haemorrhage at
the Radboud University
Medical Center
in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Today, I will talk to you
about the epidemiology of
intracerebral haemorrhage
and cerebral angiopathy.

I've decided that this talk
will be put in four parts.
In the first part, I will
focus on the incident of
intracerebral
haemorrhage as well as
risk factors for the
development of ICH.

Intracerebral
haemorrhage is commonly
referred to as the most
deadly type of stroke.
In a systematic review and
meta-analysis of literature,
Charlotte van Asch has
studied the incidence of ICH
between 1980 and
2006 in a total of
36 studies including over
80,000 participants.
They found an
overall incidence of
25 patients with ICH per
100,000 patient years.
There was no
significant difference
in the incidence
between men and women.
However, in Asian populations,
the incidence was
more than twice as
high compared to the
other ethnicities.

Most striking, age is
the strongest factor on
the incidence of ICH.
Intracerebral
haemorrhage is rare
in patients under 45 years.
With an incidence of 1.9
per 100,000 patient years,
it is ten times more prevalent
between 45-55 years,
and then almost doubles
every decade thereafter.
As a result, the incidence
in people over 85 years old
is 100 times higher compared to
people younger than 45 years.
While this and other articles
are good for estimation
