The Patterns of Morphological Change During Intracerebral Hemorrhage Expansion: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Hemorrhage expansion (HE) is a common and serious condition in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In contrast to the volume changes, little is known about the morphological changes that occur during HE. We developed a novel method to explore the patterns of morphological change and investigate the clinical significance of this change in ICH patients. Methods: The morphological changes in the hematomas of ICH patients with available paired non-contrast CT data were described in quantitative terms, including the diameters of each hematoma in three dimensions, the longitudinal axis type, the surface regularity (SR) index, the length and direction changes of the diameters, and the distance and direction of movement of the center of the hematoma. The pattern
