A Score Based on Age and DWI Volume Predicts Poor Outcome following Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

The Stanford Age and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Houston Intra-Arterial Therapy scores can be used to predict poor functional outcome following endovascular therapy with good accuracy. However, these scores do not predict the clinical response to reperfusion. This limits their utility as tools to select patients for acute stroke interventions.
