Comparative Associations of Three Nutritional Indices with Hematoma Expansion After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

This retrospective cohort study examined whether three nutritional indices assessed at hospital admission are associated with hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The study compared:

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI),
Triglyceride × Total Cholesterol × Body Weight Index (TCBI),
and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score
to determine which nutritional indicator best predicts early hematoma expansion after hemorrhagic stroke.
