Vision, Aphasia, Neglect Assessment to Predict Neurosurgical Intervention in Patients with Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The Vision, Aphasia, and Neglect (VAN) screening tool is a simple bedside test developed to identify patients with large vessel occlusion stroke. In the setting of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), there are very few bedside predictors of need for neurosurgical interventions other than age and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). We aimed to assess the utility of the VAN screening tool in predicting the need for neurosurgical intervention in patients with ICH.
