Description
Summary:Abstract only Background and Purpose: Predicting the patient outcome after a vascular event can be very challenging. The National Institute of Health (NIH) developed a standardized scale to evaluate the severity of a stroke at presentation. The objective of this analysis was to study the effect of the motor component of the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on a patient’s functional outcome at discharge. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all patients (n= 97) that presented to our hospital with ischemic stroke and received mechanical thrombectomy between January 2009 and July 2012 and had all the components of NIHSS baseline documented at presentation. Statistical analysis was performed using the R statistical package and XLSTAT-Pro 2011. Spearman correlations (P value
