Abstract Background Mobile stroke units (MSUs) are ambulances with staff and a computed
tomographic scanner that may enable faster treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (t …

Background Early neurological improvement (ENI) is a potential predictor for 90-day
outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We …

Background and Purpose: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) measured
at an early time point is an appealing surrogate marker for long-term functional outcome of …

Background and Purpose: Large-scale observational studies of acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
promise to reveal mechanisms underlying cerebral ischemia. However, meaningful …

Background and Purpose: Failure of early neurological improvement (fENI) despite
successful mechanical thrombectomy in the anterior circulation is a clinically frequent …

Abstract Introduction South Asia is responsible for more than 40% of the stroke burden and
stroke mortality in the developing world. South Asia, which is home to one-fourth of the …

Background and purpose Early neurological improvement (ENI) after thrombectomy is
associated with better long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke due to …

Background First‐pass reperfusion (FPR) is associated with favorable outcome after
endovascular treatment. It is unknown whether this effect is independent of patient …

Background and purpose To investigate early clinical surrogates for long-term
independency of patients treated with thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke in …

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) has been used extensively in trials of
