The Totaled Health Risks in Vascular Events (THRIVE) Score Predicts Ischemic Stroke Outcomes Independent of Thrombolytic Therapy in the NINDS tPA Trial

Conclusions: The THRIVE score provides accurate prediction of long-term neurologic outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke regardless of treatment modality. Both the THRIVE score and tPA administration predict outcome, but the THRIVE score does not influence the impact of tPA on outcome, and tPA administration does not influence the impact of THRIVE score on outcome.
