Twenty-four-hour National Institute of Health Stroke Scale predicts short- and long-term outcomes of basilar artery occlusion after endovascular treatment

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the 24-h National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) for short- and long-term outcomes of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in daily clinical routine.

Methods

Patients with EVT for acute basilar artery occlusion study registry with the 24-h NIHSS, and clinical outcomes documented at 90 days and 1 year were included. The NIHSS admission, 24-h NIHSS, NIHSS delta, and NIHSS percentage change, binary definitions of early neurological improvement [ENI; improvement of 4/(common ENI)/8 (major ENI)/10 (dramatic ENI)] NIHSS points were compared to predict the favorable outcomes and mortality at 90 days and 1 year. The primary outcome was defined as favorable i
