Etiology and early clinical predictors of neurological outcomes in pediatric spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage: a retrospective exploratory study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Pediatric spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is rare but clinically diverse, and prognostic evaluation remains challenging because current models rely mainly on anatomical severity rather than etiologic or early clinical features. This study aimed to characterize the etiologic spectrum of pediatric sICH and identify early predictors of 3-month neurological outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study included children aged 1 month to 14 years diagnosed with sICH at Hebei Children's Hospital from December 2016 to December 2024. Patients were divided into four etiologic groups: unknown causes, vascular causes, blood-related causes, and other defined causes. Clinical, radiologic, and laboratory data at admission were collected. Neurological outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months, with poor outcome defined as mRS > 2. Variables significant in univariate analyses ( Results: Among 148 children (median age 48.0 months; 39.2% female), vascular (35.1%) and unknown etiologies (33.8%) were most common. Poor outcomes occurred in 58 patients (39.2%). In multivariate analysis, seizures at onset (OR = 2.861, 95% CI: 1.076-7.612, Conclusion: The etiologic distribution of pediatric sICH is markedly diverse, and the prognosis at 3 months is substantially influenced by both etiology and early clinical characteristics. Seizures at onset and secondary etiologies (such as infections and tumors) significantly increase the risk of poor outcome, whereas vomiting and higher GCS scores are associated with more favorable recovery. Early integration of etiologic classification and clinical presentation may enhance prognostic accuracy and guide individualized management strategies in pediatric sICH.
