🧠 ICH Score (Intracerebral Haemorrhage)
Predict 30-day mortality after intracerebral haemorrhage with the ICH score.
ICH Score (Intracerebral Haemorrhage)
GCS
ICH volume ≥ 30 cm³
Intraventricular haemorrhage
Infratentorial origin
Age ≥ 80
When to use
Risk stratification and communication in ICH.
How it works
GCS (0–2) + volume ≥ 30 cm³ (1) + IVH (1) + infratentorial (1) + age ≥ 80 (1). 0–6.
Key points
- Mortality rises steeply with the score.
- Aids prognostic discussion.
- Should not alone drive withdrawal of care.
