Conditions

Acute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage

Interventions

Study Settings include the following: • National Hospital of Sri Lanka • Colombo South Teaching Hospital • Kurunegala Teaching Hospital • Karapitiya Teaching Hospital • Jaffna Teaching Hospital • K
randomly assigned by a statistician. Participating sites will be stratified according to country and size of site. When the site is ready, they will be notified of the randomised group within 2 weeks
in the case of significant abnormalities, they were taken daily. Goal-directed care bundle of active management group will include
1. Early intensive BP lowering. The aim is to achieve a systolic BP level 55 bpm, repeat labetalol 10 mg bolus in 5 minutes. labetalol 20 mg IV push q 5 mins until target SBP reached (< 140mmHg) or H
increase to 40 mg bolus if required. Maximum labetalol dose: 300 mg / 24 hours 2. Intensive glucose control. The aim is to achieve a target blood glucose level of 6.1-7.8 mmol/l for non-diabetic pati

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Age >= 18 (both male and female) • Acute stroke syndrome that is due to presumed spontaneous ICH, confirmed by clinical history and a CT scan within 6 hours of stroke onset without/without contrast, and if an CT angiogram is also undertaken as part of routine care. • Presentation to hospital within 6 hours of stroke onset

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Definite evidence that the ICH is secondary to a structural abnormality in the brain (eg an AVM, intracranial aneurysm, tumour, trauma, or previous cerebral infarction) or previous thrombolysis. • A high likelihood that the patient will not adhere to the study treatment and follow-up regimen. In each case, the decision about the patient’s eligibility will be based on the attending clinician’s interpretation of the above eligibility criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Functional recovery according to an ordinal shift analysis of the full range of scores on the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores at 6 months [6 Months ]

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Functional recovery according to a shift analysis of scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 7 days. The following at 6-months: poor outcome defined by mRS scores of 3-6; separately on death and disability (mRS 3-5); health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using the EuroQoL Group 5-Dimension self-report questionnaire (EQ-5D); duration of hospitalisation; and residence. [6 months]
