JURaSSiC: accuracy of clinician vs risk score prediction of ischemic stroke outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We compared the accuracy of clinicians and a risk score (iScore) to predict observed outcomes following an acute ischemic stroke.

Methods

The JURaSSiC (Clinician JUdgment vs Risk Score to predict Stroke outComes) study assigned 111 clinicians with expertise in acute stroke care to predict the probability of outcomes of 5 ischemic stroke case scenarios. Cases (n = 1,415) were selected as being representative of the 10 most common clinical presentations from a pool of more than 12,000 stroke patients admitted to 12 stroke centers. The primary outcome was prediction of death or disability (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] ≥3) at discharge within the 95% confidence interval (CI) of observed outcomes. Secondary outcomes included 30-day mortality and death or institutionaliza
