title: [Prognosis of supratentorial parenchymal hemorrhages].
abstract: The prognostic value of a group of parameters recorded upon hospital admission was assessed in a series of 135 supratentorial hemorrhages. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on survival < 30 days, between 30 days and 1 year, or > 1 year. Patients in the group with the shortest survival period were older; had more Glasgow scale scores < or = 10 and more Canadian scale scores < or = 5; had more hematomas > or = 4 cm in diameter revealed in computerized tomography with frequent midline shift and frequent ventricular hemorrhagic invasion; had higher stress reaction (hyperglycemia, leukocytosis and heart arrhythmia). Cholesterinemia, however, was lower in the shortest survival group. A range of quality of life was observed in the group (44%) with survival longer than 1 year. The subgroup with motor independence (Rankin < 3) (19%) differed from those with less motor independence (Rankin > or = 3) in that they were younger, more often had mean scores > or = 5 on the Canadian scale and normal blood pressure levels. We conclude that prognostic value of the clinical evaluation scales used, along with age and size of hematoma, was good.
