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
