HIAT2 Predicts Poor Functional Outcome, Palliative Care Involvement, and In-hospital Mortality in tPA Treated and Untreated Ischemic Stroke Patients (P1.188)

Conclusions: Our results suggest that the variables used to create the HIAT2 score (age, NIHSS, glucose, ASPECTS score) are useful in predicting poor outcomes in patients receiving endovascular therapy, IV tPA, and neither. Despite its ability to predict poor outcome in these samples, treatment should not be withheld from patients that otherwise qualify.Disclosure: Dr. Kaur has nothing to disclose.
