Intraventricular extension (IVE) and hydrocephalus (HCP) frequently prompt external ventricular drain (EVD) insertion, but objective criteria to guide EVD use are lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This article aims to identify clinical and radiological predictors of EVD insertion in spontaneous ICH and to develop a simple bedside scoring system (EVD-ICH score) to support decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This is a prospective observational study of 100 consecutive adults with spontaneous nontraumatic ICH admitted to a tertiary-care center (March 2023 to February 2024). Clinical and CT variables were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of EVD insertion. A points-based score was created from adjusted odds ratios and internally validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of 100 patients, predictors independently associated with EVD insertion were IVE, HCP, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) \u2264 8, hematoma volume \u226530\u2009mL, and history of hypertension (HTN). The 7-point EVD-ICH score (IVE 2 pts, HCP 2 pts, GCS \u22648 1 pt, ICH \u226530\u2009mL 1 pt, HTN 1 pt) achieved an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78\u20130.92). Optimal cut-off \u22653 yielded a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 77%. Predicted EVD probability ranged from 8% (score 0) to 92% (score 7).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The EVD-ICH score provides a concise bedside tool to stratify risk of requiring EVD in spontaneous ICH.
