The Role of Imaging in Clinical Stroke Scales That Predict Functional Outcome: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Numerous stroke scales have been developed to predict functional outcomes following acute ischemic stroke. The goal of this study was to summarize functional outcome scores in stroke that incorporate neuroimaging with those that don't incorporate neuroimaging.

Methods

Searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and the Cochrane Library Database from inception to January 23, 2015. Additional records were identified by employing the "Cited by" and "View References" features in Scopus. We included studies that described stroke prognosis models or scoring systems that predict functional outcome based on clinical and/or imaging data available on presentation. Score performance was evaluated based on area under the receiver operating characteristic
