The clinical characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with intracerebral metastasis (IcM) have not been reported on extensively. We compared the clinical characteristics between patients with ICH (w-ICH, 18 patients) and without ICH (wo-ICH, 24 patients) in HCC patients with IcM. Using multivariate logistic regression, only habitual alcohol consumption is a significant predictor of ICH in HCC patients with IcM (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=4.7, 95% CI=1.26-17.71, p=0.022). Patients with ICH also had lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores at the time of admission (p=0.032) and lower incidence of infratentorial metastasis (p=0.014). Using correlation analysis, only blood platelet count on admission was positively correlated with survival duration after the diagnosis of IcM in the wo-ICH group (p=0.000) but not in the w-ICH group.
