STUDY OF  PRONOSTIC FACTORS AFTER 30 DAYS IN PATIENTS WITH INTRACRANIAL HEMORRAGIA

Abstract

Background and purpose: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) constitutes 10% to 15% of all strokes and remains without a treatment of proven benefit. Despite several existing outcome prediction models for ICH, there is no standard clinical grading scale for ICH analogous to those for traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or ischemic stroke. Methods: Records of all patients with acute ICH presenting to the Neurology Department, Binh Dinh General Hospital from July 2014-March 2015. Clinical outcome assessed by mRankin score and was compared with each item of ICH scale. ROC-AUC was realized to evaluated the value of ICH in prognostic the outcome of cerebral hemorrhage at day 30. Results: In the day 30: mortality rate was evaluated compared with mRS: In the group with ICH 0-1: no mortality, good outcome was 92.8% and 72.7%. ICH 2-3: mortlity rate increased 47.9% and 84.4%. ICH 4-5: mortality rate 100%. The prognostic predictor of ICH was high with Se 95%, Sp 59%. ROC-AUC 0.908, p<0.0001. Conclusions: The ICH Score is a simple clinical grading scale that allows risk stratification on presentation with ICH. The use of a scale such as the ICH Score could improve standardization of clinical treatment protocols and clinical research studies in ICH. Key words: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), ischemic stroke
