Background Persons with pre-existing disabilities represent over one-third of acute stroke presentations, but account for a far smaller proportion of those receiving endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) ...

Primary outcome measures At 3–6 months following the index event, functional outcome was measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. Results Most patients (79.8%) had a mild ischaemic stroke ...

Background: We investigate whether the NIHSS at 24 hours could serve as an alternative primary outcome measure in acute ischemic stroke trials, and whether combining 90-day modified Rankin Score (mRS) ...

The inclusion criteria for this study were defined as follows:1) acute ischemic stroke patients with an occlusion in the anterior circulation due to an isolated occlusion of the intracranial internal ...

In addition to the NIHSS, other neurological impairment scales in clinical trials are the Scandinavian stroke scale, the Orgogozo neurological scale, and the Canadian neurological scale. 2 The ...

We prospectively collected clinical assessments, imaging, and outcome data in consecutive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, and determined the ability of GCS and NIHSS to predict poor functional ...

Comparison of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale scores between the 3-month good prognosis and bad prognosis before and after treatment Before the treatment, the NIHSS scores of the two groups ...

In a randomized, phase 3 trial of more than 900 patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT, the median Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days was 3 both in patients who received ...

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at discharge and age were retained as significant (p < 0.001) independent predictors of the 90-day mRS score. When applied to the external validation ...
