Baseline clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were collected. Posterior confluent white matter hyperintensities (WMH-PC), which means WMHs predominantly posterior to the ventricular horns, extending more than 5 mm in the deep white matter. Other MRI features included multispot white matter hyperintensities (WMH-MS), cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), perivascular spaces (PVS), and acute convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) in the present study. Participants were prospectively followed for recurrent symptomatic ICH or death. Kaplan-Meier and Cox-regression models were used to assess associations with ICH recurrence risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cohort included 254 survivors of spontaneous ICH, with median age of 68.5 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 63.0\u201376.0) and 63.0% male. WMH-PC was present in 124 patients (48.8%). Hundred and seventy patients (66.9%) were probable CAA-related ICH. Over a median follow-up period of 20.0 months (IQR: 8.0\u201338.0), 53 patients (20.9%) experienced recurrent ICH. In the probable CAA-related ICH group, WMH-PC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.548; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.251\u20135.193); cSS (aHR: 2.340; 95% CI: 1.126\u20134.860); and CSO-PVS (aHR: 2.751; 95% CI: 1.219\u20136.207) were associated with increased risk of ICH recurrence; after adjusted for the MRI features, only CSO-PVS (aHR: 2.278; 95% CI: 1.075\u20134.828) remained independently associated with an increased risk of ICH recurrence.
