What is Effect of apolipoprotein E genotype on in-hospital mortality following intracerebral haemorrhage: **Intracerebral haemorrhage: survival and APOE genotype** about?
## Objective: To determine the relationship between the apolipoprotein e (apoe) epsilon4 allele and in-hospital mortality from intracerebral haemorrhage (ich). ## Material and methods: Patients admitted to two acute stroke units with ich were prospectively evaluated and apoe genotyped. in-hospital survival was recorded in 176 patients. ## Results: There were 85 men and 91 women, mean age 68 years. fifty-two (30%) of the 176 patients died in hospital. after adjusting for sex, age, hospital, and race, increased age (p = 0.009) and the presence of the apoeepsilon4 allele (p = 0.026) significantly reduced in-hospital survival. ## Conclusion: The apoeepsilon4 allele in this population may be associated with poor survival following ich.
