  • *P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

  • †Black race was considered separately because black patients had higher ICH severity and poor outcomes.

  • EOT, end of treatment; EVD, external ventricular drainage; GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale; ICH, intracerebral haemorrhage; IVH, intraventricular haemorrhage; MIS, minimally invasive surgery; WBC, white blood cell.
