Factors Considered by Physicians Versus Nurses When Prognosticating Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage Outcomes (S46.003)

David Y. Hwang, Stacy Y. Chu, Cameron A. Dell, Mary J. Sparks et autres

Objective: We explored the factors considered by physicians versus nurses when asked to prognosticate acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes. Background: The early subjective clinical judgment of both physicians and nurses has been shown to correlate more closely with 3-month ICH outcome than …

Accurate outcome predictions for intracerebral hemorrhage patients are more likely than inaccurate predictions to be influenced by co-morbidities not included in clinical scales (S39.006)

David Y. Hwang, Cameron A. Dell, Mary J. Sparks, Tiffany D. Watson et autres

OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that accurate physician predictions of functional outcome for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients are more likely than inaccurate predictions to incorporate decision-making factors outside of the variables comprising the ICH and FUNC Scores. BACKGROUND: Clinical scales for ICH, such as …

Abstract W P126: Accurate Outcome Predictions for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients Are More Likely Than Inaccurate Predictions to Be Influenced by Co-morbidities Not Included in Clinical Scales

David Y. Hwang, Cameron A. Dell, Mary J. Sparks, Tiffany D. Watson et autres

Introduction: Clinical scales for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), such as the ICH and FUNC Scores, utilize a limited number of variables for outcome prediction. The variables that physicians incorporate into subjective predictions of ICH outcome and how they relate to predictive accuracy are …

Cutaneous Ulcer as Leading Symptom of Systemic Cytomegalovirus Infection

Richard F. Guo, Frew H. Gebreab, Emily Hsiang-Ho Tang, Zhe Hao Piao et autres

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection rarely manifests with skin ulcerations. We describe a case report of a 64-year-old woman with chronic immunosuppression for treatment of mixed connective tissue disease, presenting with new onset leg ulcerations after a recent change in immunosuppressive regimen. She subsequently …

Subjective Judgments of Physicians and Nurses Are More Accurate Than Formal Clinical Scales in Predicting Functional Outcome After Intracerebral Hemorrhage (S45.006)

David Y. Hwang, Cameron A. Dell, Mary J. Sparks, Tiffany D. Watson et autres

OBJECTIVE: The ICH and FUNC Scores have superior accuracy, compared to the early clinical judgment of physicians and nurses, with regards to the prediction of the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) achieved by ICH patients at 3 months. BACKGROUND: The ICH and FUNC …

Abstract 211: Subjective Judgments of Physicians and Nurses Are More Accurate Than Formal Clinical Scales in Predicting Functional Outcome After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

David Y. Hwang, Cameron A. Dell, Mary J. Sparks, Tiffany D. Watson et autres

Introduction: Providing an accurate prognosis is a fundamental responsibility of care providers for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The ICH and FUNC Scores are common clinical scales designed to predict functional outcome and mortality for ICH patients. Hypothesis: The ICH Score and …
