Predictive factors for shunt dependency in patients with spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage

Abstract excerpt

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in approximately 30-50% patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), with a high 30-day mortality rate. Excess accumulation of parenchymal or ventricular blood associated with the development of acute hydrocephalus leads to poor outcomes. The prediction of shunt dependency is important to identify patients susceptible to requiring permanent shunt placement and...
