Popis: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with higher incidence of stroke-associated infection (SAI) as well as antibiotic use. However, there were few methods for judging proper antibiotic use in clinical manner. We introduce an index of antibiotic use, called personal antibiotic use density (PAUD), to evaluate the relation between antibiotic use and prognosis of ICH patients with SAI. A total of 162 in 570 ICH patients were observed to diagnose as SAI. Comparing with the survival patients, PAUD, ICH volume, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and ICH score were significantly higher among those who died, while the Glasgow Coma Scale score and the length of stay were significantly lower (P
