N2  - A grading system for predicting outcome in spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage is proposed. The factors used include age, locaton of hematoma, GCS score, presence or absence of brain shift and hydrocephalus. Outcome was assessed using the Glasgow outcome score.
Overall, patients in grades 2-3 had 33% good and 67% acceptable outcome, with no mortalities. Grades 4-5 had 30% good outcome, 33% acceptable and 37% poor. Grades 6-7 had 18% acceptable and 82% poor outcome.
There was strong correlation of grade with outcome. The most important factor was GCS score, followed by midline shift and hydrocephalus
