Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) still presents a great heterogeneity in its clinical evaluation, demonstrating differences in the enrollment criteria used for the study of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treatment. The aim of the current study was to assess the ICH Score, a simple and reliable scale, determining the 30-day mortality and the one-year functional outcome. Consecutive patients admitted with acute SICH were prospectively included in the study. ICH Scores ranged from 0 to 4, and each increase in the ICH Score was associated with an increase in the 30-day mortality and with a progressive decrease in good functional outcome rates. However, the occurrence of a pyramidal pathway injury was better related to worse functional outcome than the ICH Score. The ICH Score is a good predictor of 30-day mortality and functional outcome, confirming its validity in a different socioeconomic populations. The association of the pyramidal pathway injury as an auxiliary variable provides more accurate information about the prognostic evolution.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) has been common in China with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML)-based predictive model for the 90-day evaluation after SICH. We retrospectively reviewed 751 patients with SICH diagnosis and analyzed clinical, radiographic, and laboratory data. A modified Rankin scale (mRS) of 0–2 was defined as a favorable functional outcome, while an mRS of 3–6 was defined as an unfavorable functional outcome. We evaluated 90-day functional outcome and mortality to develop six ML-based predictive models and compared their efficacy with a traditional risk stratification scale, the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score. The predictive performance was evaluated by the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). A total of 553 patients (73.6%) reached the functional outcome at the 3rd month, with the 90-day mortality rate of 10.2%. Logistic regression (LR) and logistic regression CV (LRCV) showed the best predictive performance for functional outcome (AUC = 0.890 and 0.887, respectively), and category boosting presented the best predictive performance for the mortality (AUC = 0.841). Therefore, ML might be of potential assistance in the prediction of the prognosis of SICH.

BACKGROUNDThe authors sought to externally validate a newly developed clinical grading scale, the Surgical Swedish ICH (SwICH) score. Patients surgically treated for spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from 2009 to 2019 in a single center in Denmark were identified. Data were retrospectively collected from patient records and neuroimaging. Surgical SwICH and ICH scores were calculated for each patient, and the validity of the Surgical SwICH was assessed and compared.OBSERVATIONSThe 126 patients included had an overall 30-day mortality rate of 23%. All patients with a Surgical SwICH score of 0 survived past one year. No patient scored the maximum Surgical SwICH score of 6. The 30-day mortality rates for Surgical SwICH scores 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0%, 20%, 53%, and 25%, respectively (p <0.0001 for trend). Mortality rates for ICH scores 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0%, 11%, 33%, and 76%, respectively (p <0.001 for trend). Receiver operator characteristics showed an area under curve of 0.78 for the Surgical SwICH score and 0.80 for the ICH score (p = 0.21 difference).LESSONSThe Surgical SwICH score was a good predictor of 30-day mortality in patients surgically treated for spontaneous supratentorial ICH. However, the Surgical SwICH score did not outperform the previously established ICH score in predicting 30-day mortality.

Introduction: The Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) Score and Functional Outcome (FUNC) Score are prediction scales used to estimate outcome. These scales have not yet been validated in large minority cohorts. Our goal was to evaluate the predictive ability of the ICH and FUNC Score for white, black, and Hispanic patients. Methods: ERICH is an ongoing study of genetic and environmental risk factors for spontaneous ICH. The analysis included 847 cases enrolled prior to 1/1/2013 that had chart abstraction, baseline interview, CT imaging, GCS, and 3-month follow-up data available. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess the correlation between each score and 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score by ethnicity. Regression models were used to determine the predictive ability of each score. Results: Patients analyzed were 42% non-Hispanic black, 34% Hispanic, and 24% non-Hispanic white. Black and Hispanic subjects were younger compared with white subjects (p<.0001) and had higher proportions of deep ICH (p=.0013). Spearman’s rank correlations for ICH Score/FUNC Score and mRS at 3 months post ICH were 0.53/0.53 for black subjects, 0.66/0.63 for Hispanics, and 0.55/0.54 for whites. Both ICH and FUNC Scores had better predictive ability for minorities compared with whites (ICH Score, B = 0.87 black, 1.02 Hispanic, 0.76 white, p<.0001; FUNC Score, B = 0.56 black, 0.65 Hispanic, 0.49 white, p<.0001). Multiple regression demonstrated independent contributions by both scores for each ethnicity. Figure 1 demonstrates distribution of mortality by score. Conclusions: Both the ICH Score and FUNC Score were independently predictive of functional outcome at 3 months. Importantly, each score exhibits higher predictive ability in minority populations compared with whites. Whether or not this difference is attributed to minority status or baseline differences in age or ICH location requires further study.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The utility of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers in the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been concerned. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the computed tomography irregularity shape for poor functional outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. PATIENTS AND Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 782 patients with intracranial hemorrhage in our stroke emergency center from January 2018 to September 2019. Laboratory examination and CT examination were measured within 24 hours of admission. After three months, the patient's functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were applied to identify independent predictors of functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. RESULTS Out of the 627 patients included in this study, those with irregular shapes on CT imaging had a higher proportion of poor outcome and mortality 90 days after discharge (P<0.001). Irregular shapes were found to be significant independent predictors of poor outcome and mortality on multiple logistic regression analysis. Besides, the increase of plasma D-dimer was associated with the occurrence of irregular shape (P=0.0387). CONCLUSIONS Patients with irregular shape showed worse functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage. The elevated expression level of plasma D-dimer may be directly related to the formation of irregular shapes.
