A 60% crisis: Mortality and hypertension-driven intracranial haemorrhage at a South African tertiary hospital

This study provides data on spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in a South African tertiary hospital, identifying a high mortality rate and the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in a younger population. The findings address a key data scarcity in low- and middle-income countries and promote the development of tailored prevention and management initiatives, which are consistent with the journal's emphasis on regionally appropriate, evidence-based healthcare interventions.
