Background: Several studies showed a correlation between C-reactive protein and mortality in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the best time to measure C-reactive protein to assess prognosis is not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to determine if initial or H24-C-reactive protein is independently associated with 30-day mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: This is a retrospective study done within years 2010-2015. All intracerebral hemorrhage cases with missing data or with autoimmune disease or neoplasm were excluded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were assessed for initial C-reactive protein, H24-C-reactive protein, and confounding factors. Results: Of 122 patients, 91 were selected. Only H24C- reactive protein, hematoma volume, and infratentorial origin were independently associated with 30-day mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage. When adjusted with intracerebral hemorrhage score, H24-C-reactive protein with a cutoff value of 30 mg/L independently predicted 30-day mortality. Conclusions: This study suggests that H24-C-reactive protein may be a more reliable marker than initial C-reactive protein in the prediction of mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage. A large multicentric study is necessary to confirm the interest of including H24-C-reactive protein to a modified intracerebral hemorrhage score for the prediction of 30-day mortality.
