TY - JOUR T1 - How and how early can we predict a stroke patient’s fate after thrombectomy? JF - Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry JO - J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry SP - 1032 LP - 1032 DO - 10.1136/jnnp-2020-324470 VL - 91 IS - 10 AU - Peter B Sporns Y1 - 2020/10/01 UR - http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/91/10/1032.abstract N2 - Early prediction of long-term functional outcome after acute ischaemic stroke is an appealing target as it may serve for early allocation of medical and financial resources and as early endpoint for future trials. Whereas in patients with ischaemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis early surrogates such as neurological improvement of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 2 hours compared with admission NIHSS were described as reliable predictors of 3-month functional outcome,1 to date no consensus exists which parameters are suited as early surrogate of functional outcome after mechanical thrombectomy (MT).Meyer et al 2 present an analysis of the German Stroke Registry Endovascular Treatment … ER -
