AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightThe proposed method calculates the subdural hematoma volumes muchbetter than the conventional one, and the root mean square error (RMSE) values were 32.17 and 20.62 ml for sABC/2 and our newmethod, respectively, whereas the RMSE values for parenchymal hematomas were 25.01 and 20.46 ml for sABC/2 and our newmethod, respectively.CONCLUSION: Our new formula for calculating the volume of subdural and parenchymal hematomas is as practical as sABC/2 andallows the clinician to apply the method bedside.

AIM: To find a more practical and effective formula than simple ABC/2 (sABC/2) to calculate the hematoma volume in patients withsubdural and parenchymal haemorrhage.MATERIAL and METHODS: We reviewed the records of 157 patients who underwent brain computed tomography examinationsfor stroke from January to October 2017. Our method, sABC/2 formula, and the planimetric method (the gold standard) were usedfor measuring the volumes of hematoma.RESULTS: The concordance in brain hematoma volumes calculated by sABC/2 and the proposed method as compared toplanimetry were 0.92 and 0.93, respectively (p<0.05). The proposed method calculates the subdural hematoma volumes muchbetter than the conventional one, and the root mean square error (RMSE) values were 32.17 and 20.62 ml for sABC/2 and our newmethod, respectively, whereas the RMSE values for parenchymal hematomas were 25.01 and 20.46 ml for sABC/2 and our newmethod, respectively.CONCLUSION: Our new formula for calculating the volume of subdural and parenchymal hematomas is as practical as sABC/2 andallows the clinician to apply the method bedside.
