The multicenter study was conducted at tertiary hospitals in China between 2016 and 2019 with 90-day follow-up.

After propensity score matching, the odds ratio of having a worse mRS scores at 90 days in the asymptomatic HI and SAH group compared with the no hemorrhage group was 2.59 (95% CI, 1.45-4.63; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001).
