title: Intracerebral haemorrhage: an attempt at statistical assessment for operability.
abstract: A series of 88 patients, who underwent operation for intracranial haemorrhage, is reported. The outcomes are assessed in order to evaluate the operability in relation to the patient's age, the type of onset, the site of haemorrhage, the conscious level, the interval between accident and operation, cardiovascular disease and the dysmetabolic values. A numerical value has been assigned to each factor considered; than the correspondence between these values and the importance of each factor in relation to the clinical state has been analysed. The authors finally point out that their study, although it has a merely indicative significance, agrees sufficiently with the clinical results, as to give a useful pattern for a statistical approach to the question of intracerebral haemorrhage, offering in the meantime hopeful aids to diagnosis.
