BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of cerebral atrophy on clinical outcome in patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: Computed tomography scans of 320 patients included in a prospective, multicenter trial were used for a segmentation analysis to determine the supratentorial cerebral volume. A logistic regression analysis was used to explore its effect on outcome after 90 days in addition to other clinical and imaging parameters. RESULTS: Cerebral volume loss significantly reduced the odds for favorable outcome after 90 days (odds ratio=0.91; confidence interval, 0.85-0.99; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral atrophy is an independent predictor of unfavorable outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage, indicating reduced functional recovery potential in these individuals.
