🧠 FUNC Score (ICH Functional Outcome)
UseWhen to use: primary intracerebral hemorrhage when discussing medium-term function (not sole WLST).
StrataFUNC correlates with 90-day functional independence. Prognostic aid only.
LimitsWhen not to use: as the only basis for withdrawal of life-sustaining … · Pitfall: applying to secondary ICH (trauma, tumor, AVM) without cauti… · Volume measurement method should be consistent (ABC/2 etc.).

When to use
When to use: primary intracerebral hemorrhage when discussing medium-term function (not sole WLST).
How it works
Age (<70=2, 70–79=1, ≥80=0) + GCS (≥9=2, ≤8=0) + volume (<30=4, 30–60=2, >60=0) + location (lobar=2, deep=1, infra=0) + no pre-ICH cognitive impairment (1). 0–11.
Key points
- Published Rost points 0–11.
- Higher = better function odds.
- Next: ICH score / ABC/2.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Age | 70–79 y (1) |
|---|---|
| GCS | ≥ 9 (2) |
| ICH volume | 30–60 mL (2) |
| ICH location | Deep (1) |
| Pre-ICH cognitive impairment | No (1) |
→FUNC7/11
- Band：Intermediate likelihood
- Outcome：Functional independence at 90 days (derivation)
| Age | < 70 y (2) |
|---|---|
| GCS | ≥ 9 (2) |
| ICH volume | < 30 mL (4) |
| ICH location | Lobar (2) |
| Pre-ICH cognitive impairment | No (1) |
→FUNC11/11
- Band：Higher likelihood of functional independence
- Outcome：Functional independence at 90 days (derivation)

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does FUNC Score (ICH Functional Outcome) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is FUNC Score (ICH Functional Outcome) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Age 70–79 y (1), GCS ≥ 9 (2), ICH volume 30–60 mL (2), ICH location Deep (1), Pre-ICH cognitive impairment No (1) → Result: FUNC 7 /11（Band: Intermediate likelihood, Outcome: Functional independence at 90 days (derivation)） Inputs: Age < 70 y (2), GCS ≥ 9 (2), ICH volume < 30 mL (4), ICH location Lobar (2), Pre-ICH cognitive impairment No (1) → Result: FUNC 11 /11（Band: Higher likelihood of functional independence, Outcome: Functional independence at 90 days (derivation)）
