Abstract

Introduction: This study was to identify hypertensive Intracranial Hemorrhage with hematoma as well as the relation to various factors and outcomes. Objective: To find the correlation between the site and size of hemorrhage, GCS score, and the outcome. Methods: This is a prospective observational trial. The study consists of 65 patients with Intracranial hemorrhage, presenting with the criteria and symptoms in order to correlate with the GCS score and GC scale. This study was conducted at Shree Sayaji General Hospital, Baroda during December 2013 to November 2014. The GC scale was used to assess the outcome. The GC score was used for distribution of the patients with presenting symptoms. CT scan of the head was also used to identify the site of the hemorrhage and the size of the hemorrhage. Results: The increase in hematoma volume in the study shows the high percentage of mortality. This shows that the lower the GC score is worse for prognosis than a higher GC score of >14. Conclusion: Our results show that a low GC score and high size of the bleed can significantly affect the prognosis.
