Objective      To determine the risk factors for predicting the 30-day mortality of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and investigate the prognostic values of this new grading scale with 3 well-known grading scores of ICH (original ICH score

modified ICH score

and new ICH score).       Methods      A total of 152 ICH patients admitted in the departments of neurology and neurosurgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 2011 to October 2013 were recruited in this study. Their clinical data

follow-up and prognostic data were collected. All the prognostic factors were analyzed with univariate analysis

and those obtained significant factors were further analyzed with logistic multiple regression analysis. Youden’ index and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the predictive value of the scales.       Results      There were 9 variables

including age

pulse pressure

history of coronary heart disease

venous blood glucose

white blood cell count

ICH volume

intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH)

Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score

and midline shift (P0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that aged 80

lower GCS scores (3～4) and hyperglycaemia were remarkable in the prediction (P0.05). The original ICH score was slightly better than the other 2 scores in the sensitivity and specificity.       Conclusion      Aged 80

lower GCS scores (3～4) and hyperglycaemia are independent risk factors for predicting 30-day mortality in ICH patients. The original ICH score is superior to the new ICH score and modified ICH score in prediction of 30-day intracerebral hemorrhage.
