Summary: Background: China has the highest prevalence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) worldwide. To date, no national-level report has revealed sICH surgical performance. We aimed to investigate the current status and short-term outcomes of patients who underwent surgical treatment for sICH between 2019 and 2021. Methods: Data from 7451 patients undergoing sICH surgical treatment in China between 2019 and 2021, including demographic information, disease severity, surgical treatments for sICH, complications, and follow-up information, were retrieved from the Bigdata Observatory Platform for Stroke of China. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance the baseline characteristics. The surgical treatment performance on 3-month mortality and functional outcome were then explored by regression analysis. The influence of stroke center level and region on surgical performance was then explored. Findings: The numbers of sICH patients undergoing open craniotomy (OC), cranial puncture (CP), decompressive craniectomy (DC) and endoscopic evacuation (EE) were 2404 (32.3%), 3030 (40.7%), 1700 (22.8%) and 317 (4.3%), respectively. The 3-month mortality rate was 20.2%. Among the surviving patients, the 3-month poor functional prognosis (mRS 3–5) rate was 46.5%. After PSM, regression analysis showed that DC was associated with a higher mortality risk (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.06–1.61) than OC. CP was associated with a lower risk of poor mRS scores than OC (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.70–1.01), especially in stroke prevention centers and specific regions. Interpretation: Outcome improvements in Chinese sICH patients undergoing surgical treatment are worth expecting. Inconsistent surgical performance, especially functional outcome, affected by inhomogeneity of the hospital should be addressed.
