Official title: Construction of an Integrated Intelligent Model for Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Based on Deep Learning

Run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University · NCT07570680 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether the BrainHemoAI deep-learning model can help doctors use non-contrast CT scans to guide care for people aged 8 and older with spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are people aged 8 or older with spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke who received non-contrast CT in the outpatient or emergency setting, were treated according to standard clinical guidelines, and have complete clinical data available.

Probably not a fit

Patients who had prior surgical treatment at another hospital, were in shock on admission, had severe life‑threatening organ dysfunction, died during hospitalization, or cannot complete follow-up are unlikely to benefit from this project.

What this trial studies

This observational project will develop and apply a deep-learning decision model using clinical data and non-contrast CT images from patients with spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke treated at participating hospitals. The approach aims to move beyond the traditional Tada formula by combining imaging features and routine clinical variables to reduce subjective differences between clinicians. Data are collected retrospectively and prospectively under standard clinical care, excluding patients who had prior surgery elsewhere or who are not expected to complete follow-up. Collaborating centers include regional hospitals and a university partner to build a larger, more consistent dataset for model training and validation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the model could improve the accuracy and consistency of preoperative CT-based decision-making, potentially reducing death and disability and improving recovery after hemorrhagic stroke.

How similar studies have gone: Previous AI work has shown promise for detecting and measuring intracranial hemorrhage on CT, but using deep-learning decision models to standardize surgical or preoperative decision-making remains relatively novel and not yet widely proven.
