Why the study?
The modified Rankin Scale is widely used in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage trials, but assessment methods are often poorly described and might influence the score.
Does the assessment method (structured interview or self-assessment vs physician assessment) affect the modified Rankin Scale score in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Does the assessment method (structured interview or self-assessment vs physician assessment) affect the modified Rankin Scale score in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Different assessment methods of the modified Rankin Scale yield significantly different scores, highlighting the need for standardized assessment methods in clinical trials.
