Early computed tomography demonstration of XXXX does not correlate with clinical outcome.

@entity1 @entity1188 @entity385
The results of unenhanced computed tomography (CT) obtained in 105 consecutive @entity1 admitted with @entity385 were compared with the @entity1 ' clinical outcome and their Glasgow Outcome Scores upon discharge. Specific analysis of the findings in @entity1 with early admission CT (within 12 h of onset) was carried out. The size of the @entity1188 was calculated from delayed CT images (small if less than 50 mm(3); moderate if 50-250 mm(3); large if greater than 250 mm(3)). Initial CT demonstration of the @entity385 was accomplished in 57 (54.3%) @entity1 . Forty @entity1 were studied early (<12h) and, of these, 20 (50%) showed abnormal admission CT. The size of the @entity1188 correlated with its demonstration by admission CT. This correlation was found in all @entity1 (p < 0.0001), as well as in those who had early CT (p = 0.015). Also, the size of the @entity1188 correlated with the outcome of the @entity1 (p < 0.001). The demonstration of the lesion by early CT, however, failed to correlate with the outcome of the @entity1 . This finding, although at first surprising, is analogous to reports addressing the predictive value of other CT parameters.
