Overview

Randomized trial evaluates prognostic models for predicting outcomes in cerebral ischemia patients, indicating potential clinical utility.

Key Points

  • This study aims to validate prognostic models predicting functional recovery and survival after cerebral ischemia within the first 6 hours.
  • Prospectively registered patients were assessed at a participating hospital based on defined criteria.
  • Two prognostic models were developed in 1079 patients and externally validated in 1307 patients using age and NIH Stroke Scale score.
  • Model I predicted incomplete functional recovery in 62.9% and complete recovery in 83.2% of cases.
  • Model II predicted mortality correctly in 57.9% and survival in 91.5% of patients, outperforming physician predictions.
