Based on expert opinion, the American Heart Association and European Stroke Organization recommend treatment in neurological\/neuroscience ICUs (NICUs) or SUs. The European Stroke Organization guideline states that there are no studies available directly comparing outcomes between ICUs and SUs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed an observational study comparing outcomes of 10\u00a0811 consecutive non\u2010comatose patients with intracerebral hemorrhage according to admission ward [ICUs, SUs and normal wards (NWs)].
