SEDAN Score (Symptomatic ICH after tPA)

Predict symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage risk after IV thrombolysis using the SEDAN score based on glucose, NIHSS, early ischemic changes, and dense artery sign.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Predict symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage risk after IV thrombolysis using the SEDAN score based on glucose, NIHSS, early ischemic changes, and dense artery sign

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • NIHSS — The nihss recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Early ischemic changes — The early ischemic changes recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Dense artery sign — The dense artery sign recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sedan score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the NIHSS, early ischemic changes, dense artery sign for the scenario you are assessing. Predict symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage risk after IV thrombolysis using the SEDAN score based on glucose, NIHSS, early ischemic changes, and dense artery sign. Use the sedan score result to inform your calculation.
