Description

Ji et al developed a score for predicting functional outcome for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The authors are from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, and University of North Carolina.


 

Patient selection: intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)

 

Outcome: poor modified Rankin Scale (>= 3) at 1 year

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) NIHSS on hospital admission

(3) Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) on admission

(4) glucose on admission in mmol/L

(5) ICH location

(6) ICH volume

(7) extension into ventricles

total score =

= SUM(points for all 7 parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 16

• The higher the score the worse the functional outcome.
