Abstract

We studied how well the original intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score would predict mortality. All nine patients with an ICH score of 0 survived, whereas those having scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4 had 10, 53, 71, and 100 % mortality, respectively. Thirty-nine patients were found to have hematoma of <30 mL (56 % survived), whereas 11 patients were found to have volume of >30 mL (only 10 % survived). The ICH score and volume 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.
