Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes differ when measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) versus the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), highlighting the potential limitations of mRS in assessing patient independence.
- - Results showed that while 33% of patients had mRS scores indicating good recovery, only 15% achieved independence according to FIM, suggesting that the FIM may show a more realistic measure of patient functionality post-MT.
- - Significant factors affecting mRS outcomes included hospitalization duration and NIHSS scores, while only the NIHSS score was notably linked to achieving a high FIM score, indicating distinct clinical backgrounds influence these assessment tools differently.
