Overview
This study looks at patients with brain hemorrhage to see if a special sign on brain scans, called the "Spot Sign," combined with other scan features, can predict a higher risk of death or disability. By comparing patient outcomes with existing prediction scores, the study aims to understand whether these scan markers provide extra value in identifying patients at higher risk.
Primary outcome measures
- Hematoma Expansion within 48 Hours: Increase of more than 6 mL or over 30% between the initial CT and the follow-up CT (PREDICT study criterion) and/or Occurrence of Death Within the First Month [Time frame: 48 hours]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT scan.
- Follow-up CT scan performed within 24 to 48 hours.
Non-inclusion Criteria :
- Absence of initial contrast-enhanced CT or follow-up CT.
- Hematoma due to trauma, epidural hematoma (EDH), subdural hematoma (SDH), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Exclusion criteria
- Patient deceased before the initial contrast-enhanced CT.
- Major missing clinical data.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
