Posterior circulation strokes (PCS) represent \~30% of all ischemic strokes, but existing prognostic tools are limited, especially for non-basilar artery occlusions. Accurate early outcome prediction may aid treatment decisions and clinical trial design. We developed and externally validated the Posterior Circulation Clot Burden Score (PC-CBS), a radiological tool to predict 3-month functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke due to posterior circulation occlusion.
2,612 studies on the registry are indexed under Ischemic Stroke; 971 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 1,828 is above the median of 300 across 771 observational studies indexed under Ischemic Stroke.
