The coronal plane maximum diameter of deep intracerebral hemorrhage predicts functional outcome more accurately than hematoma volume.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among prognostic imaging variables, the hematoma volume on admission computed tomography (CT) has long been considered the strongest predictor of outcome and mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Aims

To examine whether different features of hematoma shape are associated with functional outcome in deep intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods

We analyzed 790 patients from the ATACH-2 trial, and 14 shape features were quantified. We calculated Spearman's Rho to assess the correlation between shape features and three-month modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to quantify the association between shape features and poor outcome defined as mRS>2 as well as mRS > 3.

Results

Among 14 shape feature
