The Discharge Modified Rankin Scale Score Correlates with Established Hemorrhagic Transformation Scores in Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombolysis (P7.118)

Conclusions: Discharge MRS scores showed robust agreement with at least 3 HT scores known to predict long-term functional outcomes after IV rt-PA therapy. Therefore, readily available discharge MRS scores may be useful indicator of patients requiring closer follow-up after IV rt-PA therapy.Disclosure: Dr. Asuzu has nothing to disclose.
