Prognostic value of acute National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Items on disability: a registry study of first-ever stroke in the western part of Sweden by Katharina S Sunnerhagen, Hege Ihle Hansen, Tamar Abzhandadze, Haakon Ihle-Hansen, Guri Hagberg, Malin Reinholdsson

“…Objectives We aimed to study how the individual items of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission predict functional independence 3 months post-stroke in patients with first-ever stroke.Setting This registry-based study used data from two Swedish stroke registers (Riksstroke, the mandatory national quality register for stroke care in Sweden, and Väststroke, a local quality stroke register in Gothenburg).Participants This study included patients with first-ever acute stroke admitted from November 2014 to August 2018, with available NIHSS at admission and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3-month follow-up.Primary outcome The primary outcome variable was mRS≤1 (defined as an excellent outcome) at 3-month follow-up.Results We included 1471 patients, mean age was 72 (± 14.5) years, 48% were female, and 66% had mild strokes (NIHSS≤3). …”
