Key result
The Qureshi grading scheme on initial angiography was significantly associated with initial stroke severity (P=0.03) and discharge NIHSS (P=0.02) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Why the study?
Does the Qureshi grading scheme correlate with initial stroke severity and discharge outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Population
57 patients who underwent intra-arterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours of symptom onset
Design
Cohort, neuroradiologist blinded to the clinical examination
Follow-up
at discharge

Supports Qureshi grading for severity prognostication; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without validation.

Does the Qureshi grading scheme correlate with initial stroke severity and discharge outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
p-value: p=0.03
The Qureshi grading scheme on initial angiography strongly correlates with initial stroke severity and discharge NIHSS in patients undergoing intra-arterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke.
Mohammad et al. (2004) conducted an observational in acute ischemic stroke (n=57). Qureshi grading scheme was evaluated on initial severity of stroke and outcome at discharge measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (p=0.03). The Qureshi grading scheme on initial angiography was significantly associated with initial stroke severity (P=0.03) and discharge NIHSS (P=0.02) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
