FUNC Score for ICH Functional Outcome

Description

Calculates the FUNC Score to predict the probability of functional independence (GCS >= 4) at 90 days in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The score (0-11) evaluates ICH volume, age, location, GCS, and pre-ICH cognitive status. Higher scores indicate a better prognosis.

Usage

func_ich_score(ich_volume_cm3, age, location, gcs, cognitive_impairment_pre_ich)

Arguments

ich_volume_cm3	Numeric. Volume of the hematoma in cm^3 (often calculated via ABC/2 method). <30: 4 pts. 30-60: 2 pts. >60: 0 pts.
age	Numeric. Patient age in years. <70: 2 pts. 70-79: 1 pt. >=80: 0 pts.
location	String. Location of the hemorrhage. Options: "lobar" (2 pts), "deep" (1 pt), "infratentorial" (0 pts).
gcs	Numeric. Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission. >=9: 2 pts. <=8: 0 pts.
cognitive_impairment_pre_ich	Numeric (0 or 1). Presence of cognitive impairment prior to the ICH. (1 = Yes: 0 pts, 0 = No: 1 pt).

Value

A list containing:

FUNC_Score	The calculated score (Range 0-11).
Prob_Functional_Independence_90_Day	Estimated probability of achieving functional independence at 90 days.

Examples

# Example 1: Good Prognosis
# Vol 15 (<30 -> 4), Age 60 (<70 -> 2), Lobar (2), GCS 14 (2), No impairment (1)
# Score = 11
func_ich_score(15, 60, "lobar", 14, 0)

# Example 2: Poor Prognosis
# Vol 40 (30-60 -> 2), Age 82 (0), Deep (1), GCS 7 (0), Impairment Yes (0)
# Score = 3
func_ich_score(40, 82, "deep", 7, 1)
