Core Tip
Core Tip: Investigation of the correlation between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cortisol (Cor) levels and the prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage indicated that Cor and VEGF are associated with the occurrence and development of cerebral hemorrhage, as well as neurological impairment and patient prognosis. Thus, Cor and VEGF may act as potential biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
