Abstract

In a new study of 1,102 patients, a multi-item prognostic tool has been developed and validated for use in acute stroke. Using a mix of clinical variables (age and stroke severity), a process variable (administration of thrombolysis) and a biomarker (plasma copeptin), the authors were able to predict 3-month disability.
