Severe Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Factors Related to Brain Death Development.
This study sought to identify clinical variables that may contribute to the development of brain death (BD) in patients with severe supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). ⋯ Certain clinical variables are predictive of an increased risk for BD development after supratentorial ICH. This information would be useful for transplant coordinators, permitting early identification of at-risk patients and increasing the availability of potential donors.
