Helsinki CT Score (TBI)

Helsinki CT score (Raj 2014): mass lesion type + volume + intraventricular hemorrhage + suprasellar cisterns; a higher score predicts higher TBI mortality.

Example

Mass lesion type
2
Intraventricular hemorrhage
Yes
Suprasellar cisterns
1

Result: Helsinki CT score 6 — higher predicted mortality (>= 3).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

-3 to +14
Mass type + volume + IVH + suprasellar cisterns; a higher score predicts higher mortality / unfavorable 6-month outcome. A prognostic score, not a diagnosis.

What you enter

  • Mass lesion type
  • Mass lesion volume > 25 mL (+2)
  • Intraventricular hemorrhage (+3)
  • Suprasellar cisterns
