Combining MRI with NIHSS Thresholds to Predict Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Value for Patient Selection [BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS:
Our predictive model is validated in a much larger patient cohort. Outcome may be predicted in up to two-thirds of patients, and thresholds are affected by stroke side and reperfusion therapy.
