Predicting the risk of hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage: the GIVE score by Tian-Nan Yang, Xin-Ni Lv, Zi-Jie Wang, Xiao Hu, Li-Bo Zhao, Jing Cheng, Qi Li

“…The predictive score was formulated based on the parameter estimates derived from the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Result The Glasgow Coma Scale, island sign, ventricular hemorrhage and time elapsed from onset to NCCT scan (GIVE) score was created as a total of individual points (0–6) based on Glasgow Coma Scale (2 points for ≤ 11), island sign (1 point for presence), ventricular hemorrhage (1 point for presence), and time elapsed from onset to NCCT scan (2 points for ≤ 2.5 h). …”
