Article Abstract
Age and CNS score defined six risk groups with a predicted 4-month poor outcome rate ranging from 10%(patients aged 70 years or younger and with an initial CNS score of 7 or higher)to 89%(patients older than 70 years and with a CNS score of 4.5 or lower).When a risk of poor outcome of 60% was taken as a cutoff,the accuracy of the prediction was 78%+/-6%in the training set and 72%+/-9%in the test set.long-term outcome can be predicted in the first few hours following an acute ischemic stroke by means of a simple model based on age and CNS score.
