A privilege to present the one year follow up data in just under 2000 people with stroke caused by bleeding. Tranexamic acid did not improve functional outcome but possibly survival. Full publication to follow. Thanks to all the participants and investigators. TICH-3 anyone?

This is why we need better treatments for ICH! Only more clinical studies will tell us if tranexamic acid can help reduce this high mortality. Thank you to all the TICH-2 investigators for work @Tich2Trial #tich2trialresults #ESOC2018
