    What is already known on this topic -Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -infected patients are closely related to cerebrovascular disease. Still, data on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in HIV-infected patients remained limited. What this study adds -A valuable factor, combining drug abuserelated HIV-infected, prolonged prothrombin time, and elevated serum triglyceride levels, could serve as a predictor of ICH for HIV-infected patients. How this study might affect research, practice, or policy -The study's findings assist clinicians in identifying HIV-infected patients with a heightened susceptibility to ICH, enabling them to implement efficacious interventions.
