- Mortality based on ICH Score
ICH Score* | 30 day mortality |
0 | 0% (26 pts) |
1 | 13% (32 pts) |
2 | 26% (27 pts) |
3 | 72% (32 pts) |
4 | 97% (29 pts) |
5 | 100% (6 pts) |
6 | ? 100%† (0 pts) |
*from first table
† no pt. in the study had a score of 6, but "it is expected this would be associated with high rate of mortality"
