Poor Accuracy of Stroke Scoring Systems for Differential Clinical Diagnosis of Intracranial Haemorrhage and Infarction
Lancet 344:999-1002, Weir,C.J.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This validation study suggests that neither score is useful for exclusion of haemorrhage before anticoagulant treatment is initiated or as a diagnostic screening procedure for trials of low-risk treatments such as aspirin.Our findings emphasis the need for routine CT scanning in this setting,since this method remains the most accurate for differentiating between haemorrhage and infarction.
