title: Modifying the details of aspiration operation may contribute to the improvement of prognosis of patients with ICH.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the retrospective study was to compare the clinical efficacy of     the traditional way of aspiration and the modified way of aspiration. MATERIAL     and
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of total 159 patients with spontaneous intracerebral     hemorrhage treated by traditional (group A, n=66) or modified (group B, n=93)     way of aspiration (both combined with thrombolysis) were retrospectively     analyzed. Reduction of clot volume in the first operation, rate of mortality and     re-bleeding, complications, and long-term clinical outcomes of the two groups     were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-five out of 159 patients (15.7%) died during     in-hospital stay. The mortality and post-operation re-bleeding rate in group B     (10.8% and 1.1%) were significantly lower than that in group A (22.7% and 9.1%),     (P < 0.05). The BI scores of patients in group B (79.5±23.2) were     significantly higher than that in group A (69.2±23.9), (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our data suggested that modifying details of aspiration operation     may contribute to the improved prognosis of ICH patients.
