Stepwise improvement in intracerebral haematoma expansion prediction with advanced imaging: a comprehensive comparison of existing scores.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aim to comprehensively assess and compare the predictive performance of haematoma expansion (HE) scores in a homogeneous cohort of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) patients.

Methods

Existing scores for predicting HE in acute ICH patients were included and categorised by imaging modality: non-contrast CT (NCCT), single-phase CT angiography (sCTA) and multiphase CTA (mCTA). The predictive performance of the scores was evaluated with the c-statistic in a population of consecutive adult patients with acute ICH admitted to a tertiary care centre in Southern Alberta, Canada, between February 2012 and May 2020, investigated with a multimodal imaging protocol (NCCT, sCTA and mCTA). The primary outcome was HE (ICH volume growth ≥6 mL or ≥33%), and the secondary out
