Relationship Between NIHSS score (National Institues Of Healt Stroke Scale Scores), Vessel Occlusion And Affected Hemisphere In Acute Ischemic Stroke

National Institutes of Health stroke scale score and vessel occlusion in 2152 patients with acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is some controversy on the association of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score to predict arterial occlusion on MR arteriography and CT arteriography in acute stroke. METHODS We analyzed NIHSS scores and arteriographic findings in 2152 patients (35.4% women, mean age 66 ± 14 years) with acute anterior or posterior circulation strokes. RES...

NIHSS score and arteriographic findings in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is associated with the findings of arteriography performed within the first hours after ischemic stroke. METHODS We analyzed NIHSS scores on hospital admission and clinical and arteriographic findings of 226 consecutive patients (94 women, 132 men; mean age 62+/-12 years) who underw...

NIHSS Score: A handy tool to predict vascular occlusion in acute ischemic stroke

Background and objectives In ischemic stroke therapies like thrombolytic and mechanical recanalisation can dramatically improve clinical outcome. So in initial hours from clinical examination we can select those patients who are candidates for such therapies. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Score is such handy tool to predict stroke outcome. Several studies report that a highe...

Proximal Arterial Occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke with Low NIHSS Scores Should Not Be Considered as Mild Stroke

BACKGROUND Untreated acute mild stroke patients have substantial 90-day disability rates and worse outcomes than those who are treated with thrombolysis. There is little information regarding which patients with acute mild stroke will benefit from thrombolysis. We sought to investigate factors that are associated with early neurological deterioration (END) and poor prognosis in patients with ac...
