They evaluated 729 patients who had experienced a large-vessel occlusion stroke and whose median NIHSS score was 3. Results showed that early neurologic deterioration occurred in 96 patients (13.2%).

The median time from stroke onset to randomization was 4.6 hours. The median NIHSS score was 2. The primary outcome was a return to baseline neurological functioning according to the mRS score at 90 ...

For the study, 1446 patients who had an acute mild ischemic stroke with a baseline NIHSS score ≤ 5 within 4.5 hours of symptom onset received thrombolysis with intravenous pro-urokinase (total ...

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 ...

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 ...

We designed a stratified analysis for the primary outcome, hypothesizing that the efficacy of endovascular therapy would be greater in participants with more severe stroke (NIHSS score ≥20 ...

Clancy and colleagues recruited 264 patients (mean age, 66.9 years; 41.7% women; median mRS = 1) within 3 months of a minor ischemic stroke, defined as NIHSS score less than eight and not expected ...

NIHSS scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits. The ASPECTS value and infarct volume at baseline and occlusion of the intracranial segment of the ...
