dc.description.abstractObjective: To assess intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) management practices and adherence to the INTERACT3 care bundle across Latin American countries. Methods: We conducted a multi-national survey among neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensive care specialists, and emergency physicians. From August to December 2024, the survey was distributed across 19 Latin American countries. It assessed hospital characteristics, availability of an ICH code, adherence to INTERACT3 measures, and resource availability. Stroke leaders from the surveyed countries were involved in developing and disseminating the survey. Results: Out of 580 respondents (mean age 40.25 years; 61.6% male), most worked in teaching (86%) and public hospitals (53.6%). Only 27.9% reported an ICH code at their institution. Adherence to INTERACT3 measures ranged from 57.2% (anticoagulation reversal) to 84.7% (blood pressure control), with just 44.5% reporting adherence to all four measures. Time-to-target was not measured by 65%, and only 53.9% maintained interventions for one week. Neuroimaging, neurosurgery, and hematology services were higher in private compared to public and mixed hospitals (p<0.001). ICH code availability was associated with private hospitals and emergency care specialists, while full adherence was more likely among intensive care specialists. Conclusions: ICH management in Latin America is evolving, with increasing adoption of evidence-based practices. However, variability in adherence underscores the need for regional initiatives to standardize ICH care and ensure equitable implementation of best practices.
