Implication

Multicenter preclinical evaluation demonstrates harmonized protocols reduce infarct volume variability in stroke models, suggesting improved reproducibility for translational research.

Key Points

Harmonization of experimental protocols reduces outcome variability across centers, enhancing data comparability in preclinical stroke research.
A 40%–50% reduction in infarct volume variability occurred after implementing standard operating procedures and hands-on surgeon training across sites.
Supports using the neuroscore system for consistent evaluations up to 28 days poststroke; preclinical animal models warrant further multicenter validation.
