Nomograms for risk prediction of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke. a Nomogram for ischemic stroke, b nomogram for hemorrhagic stroke. For clinical use of nomogram, physicians first put data onto each scale of variables and then align vertically to the above point axis to get points. Then, sum up the points of each variable to obtain the final score and convert the score into probability of mortality. Due to the U-shape distribution, systolic BP was categorized into Group 1 with systolic BPs <100 or >180 mmHg and Group 2 with systolic BPs between 100 and 180 mmHg.
