Application of a simple scoring scale to predict prognosis of poor-grade subarachnoid haemorrhage using intraventricular haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a key prognostic factor for subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). However, no simple or rapid scoring method for its evaluation exists. We aimed to modify and validate a simple scale for rapid IVH grading. We engaged two study groups to generate scores and examine their utility. Study 1 identified prognostic factors in poor-grade SAH and developed a prognostic scoring system. Study 2 evaluated the utility of the score by analysing data from a multicentre patient registry, including all severity levels, and confirmed its generalisability. Outcomes were defined using the modified Rankin scale (score ≥ 3: poor outcome). Study 1 (including 110 patients with poor-grade SAH) created a simple IVH score (IVHAge) based on two slices of computed tomography images and
