Can we Improve on Neuro-prognostication for Patients with Severe Ischemic Stroke? (P6.272)

Conclusions:The outcomes of patients presenting with severe ischemic stroke (NIHSS 16–20, 21+) is poor overall; although there were significant differences in early mortality, these are no longer significant at 90 days. A good recovery was predicted by early rapid improvement in NIHSS. More data is needed to improve neuro-prognostication to inform patients and families on expected outcomes and when to incorporate palliative care.Disclosure: Dr. Bu has nothing to disclose.
