SEDAN Score (post-tPA symptomatic ICH)
SEDAN score (Strbian 2012): predicts symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after IV thrombolysis (0-6).

Example
- Baseline blood glucose band
- > 12.0 mmol/L (> 216 mg/dL) (+2)
- Early infarct signs on CT
- Yes
- Hyperdense cerebral artery sign
- Yes
- Age
- 80
- Baseline NIHSS
- 12
Result: SEDAN 6/6: symptomatic ICH risk after thrombolysis ~33.3%.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Risk
- symptomatic ICH 1.4% at 0, 2.9% at 1, 8.5% at 2, 12.2% at 3, 21.7% at 4, and 33.3% at the >= 5 stratum.
What you enter
- Baseline blood glucose band
- Early infarct signs on CT
- Hyperdense cerebral artery sign
- Age (years)
- Baseline NIHSS
How this is calculated
- Components
- blood glucose (<= 8.0 / 8.1-12.0 / > 12.0 mmol/L = 0/+1/+2), early infarct signs (+1), dense cerebral artery sign (+1), age > 75 (+1), and NIHSS >= 10 (+1), summed 0-6.
