The REASSESS study will conduct long-term cognitive, functional, and neuropsychiatric performance assessments to determine if evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) reduces the risk of later cognitive decline in the ageing brain. This study will compare rates of cognitive decline under two treatment strategies for intracerebral hemorrhage: the use of minimally invasive surgery with two similar techniques as performed in the MISTIE III and ENRICH trials, and the current standard of care using data from controls in MISTIE III and ENRICH and comparative data from The Ethnic/Racial Variations of ICH (ERICH) study (U-01-NS067963) extended into the ERICH-Longitudinal study (R01-NS093870) which followed over 900 of ERICH cases with serial cognitive examinations.
