Werring's group reported a mean age of 77.7 years, with 45.4% women and median NIH Stroke Scale score of 5. These were patients with smaller infarct sizes and not at risk for hemorrhagic ...

Data were collected through a stroke registry to determine the percentage of stroke patients for whom at least one documented NIHSS assessment was completed during the hospital stay.

Patients were eligible if they presented 4.5-24 hours after stroke onset with a NIH Stroke Scale score 4-26. Both LVO and medium-distal vessel occlusion strokes were included in the trial.

The CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk calculator may clarify which patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation would benefit from anticoagulation.

Methods Individuals who presented with LVO were retrospectively identified from July 2018 to December 2020. Coma was defined as an unresponsive state of impaired arousal and awareness, operationalized ...

Endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke is generally avoided when the infarction is large, but the effect of endovascular therapy with medical care as compared with medical care alone for la ...

Early neurological improvement as assessed with the NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) at 24 h has been associated with improved long-term functional outcomes following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Cardiac ...

Conclusions: The newly developed CQSS is a simple and easy-to-perform scale that allows a quantitative evaluation of the stroke severity at symptom onset and an assessment of UND before hospital ...
