An alternative may be the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) early after stroke, which is frequently used as a secondary outcome measure. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the NIHSS assessed within one week after trial inclusion could serve as a primary outcome measure for trials of … Show more

The NIHSS can be used to objectively re ect the severity of cerebral infarction and determine patient prognosis [37][38][39].

Under the mRS system, 0‐2 points indicate functional independence, 3‐5 points represent dependency, and a score of 6 indicates death 12,13 . Stroke in individuals under 50 years of age was evaluated as young stroke 14 …”
