ICH score. Legend for table: Demographics: age (per 10-year increase) and sex. Risk factors: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, glucose concentration (per 1.0 mmol/l increase) at admission, smoking status and alcohol abuse. sICH severity: oICH scores (per 1-point increase) and sICH hematoma volume (per 1 cc increase) *This model included interaction terms between smoking status and diabetes mellitus, and between diabetes mellitus and glucose concentration at admission, to satisfy proportionality assumptions. **This model included interaction terms between oICH scores and sICH hematoma volume to satisfy proportionality assumptions. The quartiles of WBC are divided as follows: quartile 1: 3.4 to 6.5 x109/l; quartile 2: 6.6 to 7.9 x109/l, quartile 3: 8.0-9.9 x109/l, quartile 4: >9.9. The upper limit of the WBC measurement was 21.0 x109/l. The quartiles of CRP are divided as follows: quartile 1: 0.8 to 5 mg/l; quartile 2: 5.1 to 9.0 mg/l, quartile 3: 9.1 to 17.1, quartile 4: 17.1 mg/l or greater. The upper limit of the CRP measurement was 96 mg/l.
