Reliability of the Modified TICI Score among Endovascular Neurosurgeons.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The modified TICI score is the benchmark for quantifying reperfusion after mechanical thrombectomy. There has been limited investigation into the reliability of this score. We aim to identify intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the mTICI score among endovascular neurosurgeons.

Materials and methods

Four independent endovascular neurosurgeons (raters) reviewed angiograms of 67 patients at 2 time points. κ statistics assessed inter- and intrarater reliability and compared raters'-versus-proceduralists' scores. Reliability was also assessed for occlusion location and by dichotomizing modified TICI scores (0-2a versus 2b-3).

Results

Interrater reliability was moderate-to-substantial, weighted κ = 0.417-0.703, overall κ = 0.374 (P < .00
