AM-PAC 6-Clicks Basic Mobility and Daily Activities Scores Predict 90-Day Modified Rankin Score in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Large Vessel Occlusion.

The relative level of functional impairment in stroke patients is a significant determinant of post-acute care. The Activity Measure for Post Acute Care 6-Clicks (AM-PAC) scores for basic mobility and daily activity are rapid standardized assessments whose utilities in predicting long-term stroke outcomes have not yet been studied. We performed a retrospective analysis of acute ischemic stroke patients and their outcomes.

The Los Angeles Motor Scale is independently associated with cerebral blood flow < 30% volume in large vessel occlusions.

Background And Purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the treatment standard for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Under current guidelines, only patients with smaller ischemic core volumes (ICV) are eligible for MT. Thus, it is of interest to quickly estimate ICV in stroke patients.

The cortical vein opacification score (COVES) is independently associated with DSA ASITN collateral score.

: Pretreatment CTA-based Cortical Vein Opacification Score (COVES) has been shown to predict good functional outcomes at 90 days in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). This is thought to be related to its ability to measure collateral status (CS). However, its association with the reference standard test, the DSA-based American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology (ASITN) collateral score, has yet to be established.
