Acute leukocytosis is a well-established response to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Leukocytes, because of their interaction with platelets and coagulation factors, may in turn play a role in hemostasis. We investigated whether admission leukocytosis was associated with reduced bleeding following acute ICH. Consecutive patients with primary ICH were prospectively collected from 1994 to 2015 and retrospectively analyzed. We included subjects with a follow-up CT scan available and automated complete white blood cell (WBC) count performed within 48 h from onset. Baseline and follow-up hematoma volumes were calculated with semi-automated software and hematoma expansion was defined as volume increase > 30% or 6 mL. The association between WBC count and ICH expansion was investigated with multivariate logistic regression. 1302 subjects met eligibility criteria (median age 75 years, 55.8 % males), of whom 207 (15.9 %) experienced hematoma expansion. Higher leukocyte count on admission was associated with reduced risk of hematoma expansion (Odds Ratio for 1000 cells increase [OR] 0.91, 95 % Confidence Interval [CI] 0.86–0.96, p=0.001). The risk of hematoma expansion was inversely associated with neutrophil count (OR 0.90, 95 % CI 0.85–0.96, p=0.001) and directly associated with monocyte count (OR 2.71, 95 % CI 1.08–6.83, p=0.034). There was no association between lymphocyte count and ICH expansion (OR 0.96, 95 % CI 0.79–1.17, p=0.718). Higher admission WBC count is associated with lower risk of hematoma expansion. This highlights a potential role of the inflammatory response in modulating the coagulation cascade following acute ICH.
