Questions on Predicting Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Minor Stroke and Large-Vessel Occlusion

To the Editor We read with great interest the article by Seners and colleagues in which they investigated predictors of early neurological deterioration of presumed ischemic origin (ENDi) in large-vessel occlusion stroke with minor clinical deficits and developed a 4-point risk prediction score of ENDi. This is a common and probably underrecognized problem in large-vessel occlusion stroke, and characterizing patients at risk of ENDi is highly relevant for patient management.
