Imaging and Clinical Prognostic Features in Lobar Versus Deep Intracerebral Hemorrhage in an Unselected Swedish Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hematoma location may influence hematoma volume and risk of expansion, the strongest prognostic predictors in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aims to determine differences in imaging and clinical factors affecting survival in patients with lobar vs. deep ICH.

Method

Patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH residing in Skåne county registered in the Swedish Stroke Register 2016-2020 were included. Baseline non-contrast CT scans were evaluated for hematoma location and volume, subarachnoid or intraventricular extension, hydrocephalus, and midline shift. Multivariable Cox- and logistic regression analyses were used to determine imaging and clinical factors associated with increased 90-day mortality rate and functional dependency (mRS 3-5)
