The SOAR (Stroke Subtype, Oxford Community Stroke Project Classification, Age, Prestroke Modified Rankin) Score Strongly Predicts Early Outcomes in Acute Stroke

Abstract

A simple 8-point clinical score is highly predictive of acute stroke mortality and length of hospital stay. It could be used as prognostic tool in service planning and also to risk-stratify patients to use these outcomes as markers of stroke care quality across institutions.
