iScore: A risk score to predict Stroke Mortality

A validated risk score to predict outcomes after carotid stenting.

BACKGROUND Periprocedural outcome has been extensively investigated in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. However, risk factors contributing to long-term mortality have not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed to establish a validated clinical risk score for long-term mortality in patients after carotid artery stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Two independent cohorts after successful...

Novel risk score to predict pneumonia after acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To develop and validate a risk score (acute ischemic stroke-associated pneumonia score [AIS-APS]) for predicting in-hospital stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after AIS. METHODS The AIS-APS was developed based on the China National Stroke Registry, in which eligible patients were randomly classified into derivation (60%) and internal validation cohort (40%). External va...

Risk score to predict gastrointestinal bleeding after acute ischemic stroke

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a common and often serious complication after stroke. Although several risk factors for post-stroke GIB have been identified, no reliable or validated scoring system is currently available to predict GIB after acute stroke in routine clinical practice or clinical trials. In the present study, we aimed to develop and validate a risk model (acute isch...
