Comparison of ABC/2 Estimation Technique to Computer-Assisted Planimetric Analysis in Warfarin-Related Intracerebral Parenchymal Hemorrhage

Abstract

In patients with OAT-related ICH, >50% of bleedings are irregularly shaped. In these cases, hematoma volume is significantly overestimated by the ABC/2 formula. Modification of the denominator to 3 (ie, ABC/3) measured ICH volume more accurately in these patients potentially facilitating treatment decisions.
