Short-term Functional Outcomes of Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage in the Native and Expatriate Population
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Objectives Functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have not been well characterized in the Middle East and North Africa Region. We report the 30 and 90-day clinical outcomes in the native and expatriate of Qatar with ICH. Methods We evaluated the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), NIHSS, and imaging in the Qatar Stroke Registry (2013–22). The outcome measures were a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days and mortality at 30 and 90 days. Unfavourable outcome was defined as mRS of 4-6. We performed non-parametric ROC analyses to measure the concordance index (C-index) to assess the goodness-of-fit of ICH score for predicting 30 day and 90-day mortality and functional outcome. Results 1660 patients (median age of 49 (41.5-58) years; male 83.1%, expatriates 77.5%) with ICH, including supratentorial deep in 65.2%, cortical in 16.2%, infratentorial 16% and primary intraventricular in 2.5% were studied. The median baseline ICH volume was 7.5 (3.2-15.8) ml. An unfavorable outcome was seen in 673 (40.5%) patients at 90 days. Mortality at 30 days and 90 days was 10.4% and 15.1%. Increasing age (OR (95% CI), 1.02 (1.00-1.03)), lower GCS (0.77 (0.73-0.80)), prior use of antiplatelet medications (1.82 (1.19-2.08)), higher ICH volume (1.03 (1.02-1.04)), and presence of any intraventricular hemorrhage (1.57(1.19-2.08)), were associated with unfavorable outcome. Conclusions In this relatively younger ICH cohort more than 75% were expatriates, had smaller ICH volume and had better functional outcomes. Prognostic scoring systems may have to be modified in this population to avoid early withdrawal of care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
