Among 7036 enrolled intracerebral hemorrhage patients at 121 hospitals, those who underwent surgical hematoma evacuation were included. Patients were categorized by time from hospital arrival to achieving the target systolic BP &lt;140 mm\u2009Hg: \u22642 hours versus &gt;2 hours. The primary outcome was 6-month mortality. Key secondary outcomes included death or disability (modified Rankin Scale scores 4\u20136), modified Rankin Scale score shift, health-related quality-of-life (EuroQol 5-Dimension 3-Level [EQ-5D-3L] domains, visual analog scale, and health utility index), and serious adverse events. Adjusted associations were estimated using Cox, logistic, ordinal logistic, and linear regression models, controlling for age, sex, treatment type, and admission Glasgow Coma Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 7036 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage, 1506 underwent surgical hematoma evacuation (mean [SD] age, 59.7 [11.8] years; 33.9% women).
