Ambulance vital signs may hold clues to brain bleeding outcomes
NCT ID NCT07739030
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of people with severe spontaneous brain bleeding (intracerebral hemorrhage) to see if vital signs measured before arriving at the hospital—like blood pressure and heart rate—are linked to recovery and survival six months later. The goal is to understand which early physiological factors might influence outcomes in this serious condition. By identifying these factors, the study could help improve emergency care and guide decisions about treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If certain prehospital vital signs are linked to outcomes, this could help emergency teams identify high-risk patients earlier and guide more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective observational study, so it can only show associations, not cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings.

Who is studied
The study included all patients admitted to the neurointensive care unit at Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, ≥18 years with primary spontaneous ICH from November 1, 2016, to October 1, 2025. Patients initially admitted to peripheral hospitals, including non-stroke units, prior to transfer were also eligible for inclusion.

Inclusion Criteria: * Primary spontaneous ICH confirmed by CT imaging. * Admission to the neurointensive care unit at Rigshospitalet within the study period. * Available prehospital journal linked to the initial hospital admission. Exclusion Criteria: * Age below 18 * ICH secondary to trauma, vascular malformation, tumour, haemorrhagic transformation of ischaemic stroke, aneurysms, or central venous sinus thrombosis. * Initial admission without confirmed ICH. * Admissions from hospitals outside the Capital Region of Denmark or Region Zealand. * Pure intraventricular hemorrhage without parenchymal involvement as determined by a radiologist. * Intrahospital ICH. * Iatrogenic ICH
