Objective To investigate the factors influencing prognosis of nonoperative treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia.Methods The clinical data and survival status of 109 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia who were admitted to Neurosurgery of Guiyang Second People's Hospital during the period from April 2005 to June 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. The survival analysis was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method. The univariate analysis was used to determine the prognositic factors related with survival rate by Log-rank test. Multivariate factors for the survival rates were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.Results Univariate analysis revealed that GOS scale, GCS scale, hypertension, hemorrhage volume, intraventricular hemorrhage, pulmonary infection and glucose were the factors influencing prognostic factors of hypertensive brainstem hemorrhage. Multivariate analysis showed that GCS scale, hemorrhage volume and glucose were independent prognostic factors.Conclusions GCS scale, hemorrhage volume and glucose were important prognostic factors of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia.
