Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The subjects are patients who suffer from cerebral hemorrhage and are diagnosed as CAA according to Boston criteria. They should be classified into three groups, probable CAA with supporting pathology, probable CAA or possible CAA with amyloid deposition disclosed by PiB-PET imaging. Informed consent about the objects, methods, expected results and hazard of this study must be obtained from the patients with CAA-related hemorrhage.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who have met these exclusion criteria should be excluded. Age is younger than 41 years old or older than 86 years old when informed consent was obtained. Patients who have uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure>=160mmHg or diastolic blood pressure>=100mmHg), taken antithrombotic medication (antiplatelet or anticoagulant drug), abnormal glucose tolerance (HbA1c>=6.5%(NGSP)). Patients who may have difficulty in adherence to continuous and regular medication.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The subjects who had been diagnosed as CAA and agreed with administration of corticosteroid were randomly divided into two groups, 2.5mg and 10mg prednisolone. We will evaluate the time from baseline study to re-bleeding resulting from CAA within 18 months observational period.	—
