Patient-reported outcome measures after thrombectomy in patients with acute stroke: fine-tuning the modified Rankin Scale

Conclusions
A specifically designed digital platform allows a high collection rate of PROMs among stroke patients who underwent EVT. The mRS score shows a ceiling effect and seems insufficient to fine-tune long-term clinical results. The use of PROMs may allow a better characterization of long-term outcome profiles after EVT.
