(2014) Hematoma Shape, Hematoma Size, Glasgow Coma Scale Score and ICH Score: Which Predicts the 30-Day Mortality Better for Intracerebral Hematoma? PLoS ONE 9(7): e102326. Citation: Wang C-W, Liu Y-J, Lee Y-H, Hueng D-Y, Fan H-C, Yang F-C, et al. The receiver operating characteristics curves were plotted and areas under curve (AUC) were calculated for 30-day mortality.Ī P value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, paired t test, nonparametric test, linear regression analysis, and binary logistic regression. The predicting performance of 30-day mortality of the aforementioned variables was evaluated. The hemorrhagic shape, hematoma size measured by computer-assisted volumetric analysis (CAVA) and estimated by ABC/2 formula, ICH score and GCS score was examined. Materials and Methods This retrospective study, approved by a local institutional review board with written informed consent waived, recruited 106 patients diagnosed as ICH by non-enhanced computed tomography study.

The three values separately as well as their sum are considered. As with the GCS, the PGCS comprises three tests: eye, verbal and motor responses. As many of the assessments for an adult patient would not be appropriate for infants, the Glasgow Coma Scale was modified slightly to form the PGCS. The Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale ( British English) or the Pediatric Glasgow Coma Score ( American English) or simply PGCS is the equivalent of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) used to assess the level of consciousness of child patients.
