High Risk of Death or Disability in Brain Hemorrhage: Role of Spot Sign and Secondary Markers
France50 participantsStarted 2025-10-15
Plain-language summary
This study looks at patients with brain hemorrhage to see if a special sign on brain scans, called the "Spot Sign," combined with other scan features, can predict a higher risk of death or disability. By comparing patient outcomes with existing prediction scores, the study aims to understand whether these scan markers provide extra value in identifying patients at higher risk.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT scan.
* Follow-up CT scan performed within 24 to 48 hours.
Non-inclusion Criteria :
* Absence of initial contrast-enhanced CT or follow-up CT.
* Hematoma due to trauma, epidural hematoma (EDH), subdural hematoma (SDH), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient deceased before the initial contrast-enhanced CT.
* Major missing clinical data.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Hematoma Expansion within 48 Hours: Increase of more than 6 mL or over 30% between the initial CT and the follow-up CT (PREDICT study criterion) and/or Occurrence of Death Within the First Month
