ICH-GS (Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Glasgow Coma Scale) of Ruiz-Sandoval et al for Evaluating a Patient with a Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Purpose: To evaluate a patient who has just had an intracerebral hemorrhage using the ICH-GS score of Ruiz-Sandoval et al.

Description

Ruiz-Sandova et al developed a score for evaluating a patient with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) based on the ICH score of Hemphill et al. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from Hospital de Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcade" and the Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico.


Outcomes: in-hospital mortality, good (Glasgow outcome scale IV or V) at 30 days, mortality at 30 days

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission to the hospital

(3) location of the intracerebral hemorrhage

(4) volume of the intracerebral hemorrhage

(5) extension into ventricles

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 5

• maximum score: 13

• The higher the score the more severe the stroke.
