A Novel Scale for Assessment of Stroke Severity at Symptom Onset: Correlation With Neurological Deterioration and Outcome

Conclusions: The newly developed CQSS is a simple and easy-to-perform scale that allows a quantitative evaluation of the stroke severity at symptom onset and an assessment of UND before hospital admission. It is associated with NIHSS and predicts functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
