Healthy volunteers and people who have had a hemorrhagic stroke and live within a 50 mile radius of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hemorrhagic stroke—specifically intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)—affects 50,000 to 60,000 individuals in the United States each year. The consequences of this type of stroke are devastating with 40 percent of cases ending in death within 30 days. Identifying the genetic and environmental risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke is beneficial and may lead to better treatments and possible preventions.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the significant environmental and genetic risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain tissue) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain). The researchers will look for the presence of several stroke-related genes and any environmental risk factors hat may contribute to stroke in people who have suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. Because environmental risk factors vary within different areas, this study will be limited to physician-reviewed cases of people who have had a hemorrhagic stroke and who live within a 50-mile radius of Cincinnati, Ohio.
There are two primary hypotheses in this study:
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
This study will be limited to physician-reviewed cases of people who have had a hemorrhagic stroke and who live within a 50-mile radius of Cincinnati, Ohio.
