The purpose of this study was to define the prognostic factors for the two-year postoperative outcome in patients with SCH. We conducted a retrospective study of 48 consecutive patients with SCH who underwent neurosurgical intervention. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the possible link between clinical and radiographic parameters, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at each patient\u2019s discharge and the two-year postoperative outcome as defined according to the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). A total of 48 patients with SCH underwent neurological surgery, which included suboccipital craniectomy and\/or external ventricular drainage (EVD). The mean patient age was 63 years. Nine patients underwent suboccipital craniectomy only; 38 underwent both suboccipital craniectomy and EVD. The overall mortality rate was 35.4%. Fourteen patients (29.2%) had good outcomes. A good outcome on the GOS at 2 years after surgical treatment of SCH was associated with the NIHSS score at discharge. An increase of one point in a patient\u2019s NIHSS score at discharge following neurological surgery will increase the probability of a poor two-year postoperative outcome by 28.5%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8060818","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,10]],"date-time":"2019-06-10T03:16:51Z","timestamp":1560136611000},"page":"818","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictive Factors of 2-Year Postoperative Outcomes in Patients with Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Tsung-Han","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung 83301, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Medicine, College of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung 80708, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Hua","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung 83301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsung-Ming","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung 83301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chih-Feng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Hsien","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung 83301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hsiang-Lin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui-Ping","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung 83301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2375-0029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wen-Wei","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aij-Lie","family":"Kwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Medicine, College of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung 80708, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung 80756, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lin, C.Y., Chang, C.Y., Sun, C.H., Li, T.Y., Chen, L.C., Chang, S.T., and Wu, Y.T.
