Patients' perceptions on outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a clinician-reported scale that measures the degree of disability in patients who suffered a stroke. Patients' perception of a meaningful recovery from severe stroke, expected value of a stroke intervention, and the effect of disparities are largely unknown.
