Differences in volumetric findings of survivors and nonsurvivors. Intraventricular extension of the haematoma was more frequent in the nonsurvivor group both on initial CT and on follow-up examinations. Relative volumes were defined as the ratio of total (intraparenchymal and intraventricular) haematoma volume to intracranial volume yielding unitless variables. Values are mean (SD).
