The Accuracy of the PREP2 Prediction Tool for Upper Limb Outcomes After Stroke as Part of Routine Clinical Care.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundThe Predict REcovery Potential-2 (PREP2) prediction tool uses clinical assessments and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) within 1 week post-stroke to predict individuals' upper limb functional outcome at 3 months (3M) post-stroke. PREP2 was successfully implemented in clinical care at Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand in 2017.ObjectiveThe primary aim was to evaluate the accuracy of PREP2 predictions made by clinicians during routine clinical care, with a threshold of 70% accuracy for validation. A secondary aim was to identify new baseline predictors that could increase PREP2 accuracy.MethodsEighty-three patients who received PREP2 predictions were recruited within 1 week of stroke and had their upper limb outcome assessed at 3M post-stroke with the Action Research Arm Te
