Intraventricular hemorrhage is associated with high mortality and poor functional outcome. The use of intraventricular fibrinolytic (IVF) therapy as an intervention in intraventricular hemorrhage is an evolving therapy with conflicting reports in the literature. The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of IVF on mortality, functional outcome, ventriculitis, shunt dependence, and rehemorrhage.
