title: [Prognostic value of CAT scanning in spontaneous supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage. Multivariate study in 114 patients].
abstract: Prognostic computed tomographic findings for 30-day outcome (survival or death) were retrospectively assessed in 114 patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. All were treated nonsurgically. CT scans were used to determine location and size of the lesion, presence or absence of intraventricular spread, degree of mass effect and presence or absence of cortical atrophy. Mortality rate was 25.6%. Size of hemorrhage, presence of intraventricular spread and cortical atrophy were multivariately associated with outcome and therefore, acting jointly, contribute substantially to the prediction of outcome. In patients with intraventricular spread who died, age and systolic blood pressure on admission were significantly higher.
