Costa P, et al. - A case-control analysis was conducted to examine the role of alcohol as a causal factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and if its impact could differ according to the pathogenic mechanisms underlying cerebral bleeding. For this investigation, researchers compared a cohort of consecutive white patients with ICH aged 55 years and older with a group of age- and sex-matched stroke-free controls, via the Multicenter Study on Cerebral Haemorrhage in Italy (MUCH-Italy) between 2002 and 2014. Findings suggested that high alcohol intake could have a causal effect on ICH, with a prominent role in the vascular pathologies underlying deep ICH in white people aged 55 years and older.
