AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON PROGNOSTIC PREDICTORS IN PATIENTS WITH NON- TRAUMATIC INTRAPARENCHYMAL CEREBRAL HAEMORRHAGE IN PATIENTS ADMITTED TO A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL.

Abstract

Introduction: Intra parenchymal haemorrhage (IPH) which is a form of stroke syndrome results from 
the rupture of an intracerebral vessel leading to the development of a hematoma in the substance of 
the brain. Various factors have been identified as predicting outcome including age, gender, race, 
initial MAP, temperature, volume of bleed, site of bleed, intraventricular extension, mass effect and 
initial level of consciousness. Hence this study was done to evaluate various prognostic factors in 
predicting 30-day outcome (assessed by NIHSS score) of patients with non- traumatic 
intraparenchymal haemorrhage.
