May support modified ESRS for risk stratification in Chinese patients; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Does a modified ESRS improve the prediction of recurrent ischemic stroke at one year compared to the original ESRS in a Chinese population?
A modified Essen Stroke Risk Score incorporating hypertension duration, diabetes duration, large artery atherosclerosis, and prior TIA/IS improves prediction of 1-year recurrent ischemic stroke in Chinese patients.
