Predicting 30-day mortality in intensive care unit patients with ischaemic stroke or intracerebral haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) follow a particular survival pattern with a high short-term mortality, but if they survive the first 30 days, a relatively favourable subsequent survival is observed.

Objectives

The development and validation of two prognostic models predicting 30-day mortality for ICU patients with ischaemic stroke and for ICU patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), analysed separately, based on parameters readily available within 24 h after ICU admission, and with comparison with the existing Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE-IV) model.

Design

Observational cohort study.

Setting

All 85 ICUs participating in the Dutch National Intensive Care Evaluation database.
