Table 2.

Final stepwise logistic regression model to predict poor outcome (mRS 4 to 6) at discharge. Included variables: age, hemorrhage volume, NIHSS at admission, the presence of intraventricular blood, ICU stay, the need for mechanical ventilation, RBC transfusion and the mean HB level during hospital stay

Variable	Coefficient	P	OR (95% CI)
NIHSS on admission (per point)	0.261	<0.001	1.30 (1.17-1.45)
Presence of intraventricular hemorrhage extension	1.503	0.019	4.50 (1.23-15.83)
Age (per year)	0.043	0.021	1.04 (1.01-1.08)
Mean HB (per mg/dl)	-0.281	0.027	0.76 (0.59-0.97)

CI, confidence interval; HB, hemoglobin; mRS, modified Rankin Scale; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; OR, odds ratio; RBC, red blood cell.
