Intracranial Thrombus Extent Predicts Clinical Outcome, Final Infarct Size and Hemorrhagic Transformation in Ischemic Stroke: The Clot Burden Score

Abstract

The quantification of intracranial thrombus extent with the clot burden score predicts functional outcome, final infarct size and parenchymal hematoma risk acutely. The score needs external validation and could be useful for patient stratification in stroke trials.
