Association Between Body Mass Index and Functional Outcomes in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage w/ C.J. Jared Chen, MD and Andrea Becerril Gaitan, MD

From the Institute for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases at UTHealth Houston, today, we delve into a fascinating study exploring the intriguing concept known as the "obesity paradox" in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Joining us are two esteemed guests, Dr. Jared Chen and Dr. Andrea Gaitan, who played integral roles in this research.

You are in for a treat as we unpack the study's background, objectives, and compelling results. The study, aiming to understand the association between body mass index (BMI) and functional outcomes in patients with ICH, also explores the role of race/ethnicity in this relationship.
