1 Introduction Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been consistently demonstrated to have higher morbidity and mortality risk than subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or ischemic stroke [1-3]. The decision to withdraw life-sustaining treatment (WLST) after ICH is common [2, 4, 5]. Mortality in ICH and other acute brain injuries has also been shown to be heavily mediated by WLST decisions [4, 6, 7].
