Background & Objectives:
Stroke is leading causes of morbidity and mortality in adults. Incidence of Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage (PICH) ranging from 10 to 15/100,000 persons per year. Present study was designed to find out the risk factors in supratentorial PICH and to assess predictors of mortality.
Materials & Methods:
Present prospective, observational study was done among the patients attending Emergency, OPD and inpatients of Neurology dept. at Narayana Medical College and Hospital, Nellore for a period of 1 year 6 months from January 2016 to June 2017. Data was filled in proforma which includes detailed history, clinical examination and investigations and results were drawn and analyzed using SPSS.
Results:
Out of 88 supratentorial PICH patients, male, female was 60.22% and 39.77% respectively and mean age was 59.06±1.29 years.Most common site was capsuloganglinic bleed (53). Common clinical features were dysarthria (85%), weakness of limbs (81%) and facial palsy (79%). Hypertension was most common risk factor. Mortality in 10 (11.3%) patients. Univariate analysis revealed following statistically significant predictive factors of mortality: Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, Past history of stroke, headache, vomiting, Aphasia, altered sensorium, high systolic blood pressure at admission. Poor GCS, Leukocytosis, impaired Glycemic control, bleed volume, midline shift, and intraventricular extension. 
Conclusion:
The present study revealed various novel clinical investigatory and imaging factors in predicting mortality in supratentorial PICH. Based upon our conclusions, the effective management consists of primary prevention of various vascular risk factors and emergency measures at admission will reduce the morbidity and mortality of PICH.
