A Clinical Predictive Nomogram for Traumatic Brain Parenchyma Hematoma Progression.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute traumatic intraparenchymal hematoma (tICH) expansion is a major cause of clinical deterioration after brain contusion. Here, an accurate prediction tool for acute tICH expansion is proposed.

Methods

A multicenter hospital-based study for multivariable prediction model was conducted among patients (889 patients in a development dataset and 264 individuals in an external validation dataset) with initial and follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging for tICH volume evaluation. Semi-automated software was employed to assess tICH expansion. Two multivariate predictive models for acute tICH expansion were developed and externally validated.

Results

A total of 198 (22.27%) individuals had remarkable acute tICH expansion. The novel Traumatic Parenchymatous
