Implication

Analysis highlights diagnostic limitations of TOAST stroke subtype classification in registry practice, suggesting newer clinical diagnostic methods may improve subtype reliability.

Key Points

Ischemic stroke subtype classification via TOAST may be difficult to apply reliably in modern clinical practice, reflecting major diagnostic advances over the past 30 years.
Registry evaluation demonstrates that the 30-year-old TOAST system remains the standard tool worldwide and constitutes a required measure in the GWTG-Stroke nationwide registry.
Highlights that substantial diagnostic progress over 30 years complicates TOAST subtype classification, emphasizing the need to evaluate standard ischemic stroke categories.
