Abstract

Stroke is world’s third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Haemorrhagic strokes are more destructive and have a poor prognosis. A prognostic outcome measure of stroke patients  can be used to help clinician to educate family and to considerate therapy that provides maximum benefits for the patients. There are 32 research subjects. The data were collected from medical records of haemorrhagic stroke patients who admitted from 2015-2017. Epidemiologic data, risk factors, GCS, NIHSS and GOS were obtained from the patient's medical records. The ICH location, volume and presence of IVH were obtained from the patient’s brain CT scan or MRI data. ICH score is calculated based on 5 items: GCS score, ICH volume, IVH, Infratentorial origin of ICH and Age. Statistical test reveals that none of the independent variables measured significantly correlated with LOS (p value <0.05 CI 98%). Number of stroke attacks were significantly associated with 1 month (p value 0,004) and 3 months (p value 0,000) GOS. Both GCS at the time of admitted and discharged from the hospital were significantly associated with 1 month (p value 0,000 and 0,000) and 3 months GOS (p value 0.004 and 0,000). Also both discharged from the hospital were significantly associated with 1 month (p value 0,000 and 0,000) and 3 months GOS (p value 0,001 and 0,000). ICH score has significantly corellation with 1 month (p value 0,000) and 3 months GOS (p value 0,001).

The results of this study indicate that clinical indicators (number of stroke attacks, GCS, NIHSS) and ICH Score can be predictors of outcomes of haemorrhagic stroke patients.  In this study, there is no variable that can be used to estimate how long patients will be hospitalized.
