چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognosis, neurologic outcome, and predictors of survival in patients with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS We evaluated prospectively a cohort of 96 Saudi adult males and females with stroke during the month of July 2005 at Arar Central Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Out of 103 patients, 96 patients, who were diagnosed as having intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presenting to the emergency department for initial evaluation, were included, except those with recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformation, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, hemorrhagic infarctions, and patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. No patient underwent any neurosurgical procedure. RESULTS The results of 96 patients were analyzed. The mean age at ICH was 67.2 (+/-14.7) years (range, 30-100 years), and mean Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score on admission was 8.42 (+/-1.73) and (range, 4-13). Mean ICH volume on initial CT scan was 10.61 (+/-14.01) ml3 (range, 1-63). Mean pulse pressure on hospital arrival was 81.9 (+/-22.8) mm Hg (range, 70-120 mm Hg). In uni-variate analysis, GCS score (p=0.0005), ICH volume (p=0.001), mass effect (p=0.001), and presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (p=0.0005) were all associated with 30-days mortality, while in multivariable analysis, the most significant independent predictors of 30-day mortality were, GCS score and the intraventricular extension of hemorrhage. CONCLUSION This model may aid in making decisions quickly and easily regarding the appropriate level of care for such patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Grading scale for prediction of outcome in primary intracerebral hemorrhages.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study aimed to independently derive an intracerebral hemorrhage grading scale (ICH-GS) for prediction of 3 outcome measures. METHODS We evaluated 378 patients with primary ICH at hospital arrival and during the next 30 days. Independent predictors were identified by multivariate models of in-hospital and 30-day mortality. Points were allotted to each predictor base...
