Table 2 Prognostic factors and outcome predictors in intramedullary spinal cord hemorrhage
| Category | Favorable prognostic factors | Poor prognostic factors |
| Clinical presentation | Incomplete neurological deficit | Complete sensorimotor paralysis |
| Preserved ambulation | Early loss of ambulation | |
| Slow or non-progressive symptoms | Rapid neurological deterioration | |
| Timing | Early MRI diagnosis (< 24-48 hours) | Delayed diagnosis |
| Radiological features | Small, focal hemorrhage | Long-segment cord involvement |
| Limited cord edema | Severe edema and mass effect | |
| Etiology | Isolated anticoagulant-related bleed | Vascular malformation or tumor |
| Management | Prompt cessation/reversal of anticoagulation | Ongoing anticoagulation |
| Neurological stability under conservative treatment | Recurrent bleeding | |
| Patient factors | Younger age, fewer comorbidities | Advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, heart failure |
