  • NCCT scores used in the analyses were the HEAVN score for HE and the NCCT Expansion Score for severe HE.

  • HE, haematoma expansion; HEAVN, Heterogeneity, peripheral Oedema, Anticoagulant use, Volume, Niveau formation; mCTA, multiphase CT angiography; NCCT, non-contrast CT; sCTA, single-phase CT angiography.
