Role of IVH Score in Estimating Intraventricular Hemorrhage

Abstract

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for one fifth of all strokes. It is a devastating condition with 30% mortality and a high rate of morbidity among survivors. Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients of either sex of various age group treated at SDM Hospital, Jaipur, who have undergone CT scan of head. Results: Mild IVH score of 1-4 was noted in 20(50%) cases. moderate score of 5-8 was noted in 26 patients. 40% patients moderate score had present with ICH. Patients with better IVHS of 1-4 had a better outcome score at the end of 2 weeks assessment. Conclusion: IVHS is a powerful determinant of outcome.
