Methodological quality of multivariate prognostic models for intracranial haemorrhages in intensive care units: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients with severe spontaneous intracranial haemorrhages, managed in intensive care units, face ethical issues regarding the difficulty of anticipating their recovery. Prognostic tools help clinicians in counselling patients and relatives and guide therapeutic decisions. We aimed to methodologically assess prognostic tools for functional outcomes in severe spontaneous intracranial haemorrhages.

Data sources

Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations, we conducted a systematic review querying Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane in January 2020.

Study selection

We included development or validation of multivariate prognostic models for severe intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage.
