Identification of embolic stroke in patients with large vessel occlusion: The Chinese embolic stroke score, CHESS.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of the study was to develop a simple and objective score using clinical variables and quantified perfusion measures to identify embolic stroke with large vessel occlusions.

Methods

Eligible patients from five centers participating in the International Stroke Perfusion Imaging Registry were included in this study. Patients were split into a derivation cohort (n = 213) and a validation cohort (n = 116). A score was developed according to the coefficients of independent predictors of embolic stroke from stepwise logistic regression model in the derivation cohort. The performance of the score was validated by assessing its discrimination and calibration.

Results

The independent predictors of embolic stroke made up the Chinese Embolic Stroke Score (CHESS). The
