Literature review: Hyperthermia outcome on intracerebral hemorrhage
Abstract
Hyperthermia occurs in up to 30–40% of patients with ICH and is associated with the highest morbidity and
mortality rates. Primary ICH accounts for 85% of all ICH cases and is associated with high morbidity and
mortality rates. ICH can lead to primary or secondary brain injury. The purpose of the study was to identify
outcome related to hyperthermia on intracerebral haemorraghe. This literature review described four peerreviewed
journals
based
on
inclusion
criteria.
The

Fever
can
contribute
to

following
ICH,
hyperthermia to worse outcomes in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients at 3
months, but the underlying mechanism may differ. Fever is prevalent in people with ICH and is seldom
linked with a definite infectious cause
