New Prognostic Score for the Prediction of 30-Day Outcome in Spontaneous Supratentorial Cerebral Haemorrhage

الملخص EN

Aims.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate predictors of outcome in primary supratentorial cerebral haemorrhage.

Furthermore, we aimed to develop a prognostic model to predict 30-day fatality.

Methods.

We retrospectively analyzed a database of 156 patients with spontaneous supratentorial haemorrhage to explore the relationship between clinical and CT characteristics and fatal outcome within 30 days using multiple logistic regression analysis.

The analyzed factors included volumetric data assessed by neuropathological and CT volumetry.

A second CT scan in survivors or neuropathological ABC/2 volumetry in nonsurvivors was used along with the baseline CT to assess the growth index of haematoma.

Results.

Systolic blood pressure, serum potassium and glucose levels, platelet count, absolute and relative haematoma volumes, and presence and size of intraventricular haemorrhage statistically significantly predicted the fatal outcome within 30 days.

Based on our results we formulated a six-factor scoring algorithm named SUSPEKT to predict outcome.

Conclusions.

After validation the SUSPEKT score may be applicable in general clinical practice for early patient selection to optimize individual management or for assessment of eligibility for treatment trials.
