Abstract
We sought to propose and test the validity of a comprehensive prognostic model in middle cerebral artery-stroke treated with Intravenous thrombolysis. A total of 127 consecutive patients (aged 70 +/- 12 years; 54% males) were included in this retrospective study. Variables included in our prognostic model were: NIHSS on admission (1-3 points), occurrence of hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign and early ischemic signs on baseline CT (1 point each). NIHSS at 24 hours (0-3 points), posttreatment hemorrhage (1 point), and infarct volume (0-4 points). The score range teas 1-13, with higher values suggest unfavorable prognosis. Our prognostic score was correlated with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after stroke [correlation... (More)

NIHSS at 24 hours (0-3 points), posttreatment hemorrhage (1 point), and infarct volume (0-4 points). The score range teas 1-13, with higher values suggest unfavorable prognosis. Our prognostic score was correlated with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after stroke [correlation coefficient of 0.62, P < 0.001] and can thus help early prediction of the functional outcome. Logistic regression showed that NIHSS at 24 hours and EICs on baseline CT were independent predictor of our prognostic score (adjusted odds ratio of 4.1 and 5). Adopting a cut-off value of prognostic score <= 3 for favorable prognosis and >= 7 for unfavorable prognosis helped to predict the need for institutionalization and the functional outcome with higher accuracy and predictive values compared with using scores only based on NIHSS.
