Abstract  Background:  Apoptotic cell death leads to secondary brain injury after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SIH). There is an association between serum caspase-3 levels and late mortality (at 6 months) in patients with SIH in basal ganglia. The new objective of this study was to determine whether there exists an association between serum caspase-3 levels and early mortality (at 30 days) in patients with SIH at different sites and not only in basal ganglia. Methods:  Patients with severe supratentorial SIH (defined as Glasgow Coma Scale
