Table 5 Final stepwise logistic regression model to predict poor outcome (mRS 4 to 6) at three months. 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)

From: Low hemoglobin is associated with poor functional outcome after non-traumatic, supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage
