According to these data,of 1000 patients with acute stroke,680 would be correctly and 70 wrongly diagnosed as"ischaemic"with the Allen score;the figures would be 671 and 48 with Siriraj score.When computed tomography is not immediately available and the clinician wishes to start antithrombotic treatment(or randomise patients in a clinical trial),the Siriraj score(and possibly the Allen score)can be useful to identify patients at low risk of intracerebral haemorrhage. |
