A new clinical score has been developed to identify patients with a high risk of early death after an ischemic stroke.

The NIHSS score was ascertained or confirmed by certified trial personnel. Standard-care thrombectomy was performed in eligible patients. Detailed eligibility criteria are provided in the protocol.

Although this study was negative in its primary endpoint — the change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline to 90 days — there was some indication that ...

Because of slow recruitment, after the enrollment of 61 patients, the inclusion criteria were expanded to allow for the enrollment of patients with an NIHSS score of 6 or higher.

Early neurologic deterioration -- as measured by an increase of 2 or more points on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 7 days -- occurred in fewer of those on DAPT (4.8% vs ...

Median NIHSS score at admission was 10-11, and the time from symptom onset to randomization was just over 12 hours. The primary outcome in TRACE-III also was the proportion of patients with an mRS ...

The proportion of patients with an increase in NIHSS score of 4 points or more in the first 72 hours was 4.2% among those treated with tirofiban and 13.2% among those treated with oral aspirin, a ...

Along with repeat NIHSS scoring every 10 minutes, a final NIHSS score was completed by a protocol naive-practitioner immediately before the patient was moved to the cath lab table for thrombectomy.

White matter hyperintensity volumes at 1 year strongly correlated with contemporaneous cognitive scores after stroke, according to study results published in Neurology.
