Health Utility Weighting of the Modified Rankin Scale: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [PDF]
This systematic review and meta-analysis characterizes the between-study variability in health utility weighting of the modified Rankin Scale in a population of patients with stroke and its implications when applied to the results of a clinical trial.

Utility of modified Rankin Scale for brain vascular malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia [PDF]
Background Approximately 10% of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) patients harbour brain vascular malformations (VMs). Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from brain VMs can lead to death or morbidity, while treatment options for brain VMs also have ...

Predicting 6-month modified Rankin Scale score in stroke patients [PDF]
The study aimed to identify predictors of 6-month outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 277 AIS patients admitted to the Neurology Departments of ...

Understanding the relationship between costs and the modified Rankin Scale: A systematic review, multidisciplinary consensus and recommendations for future studies. [PDF]
Background and purpose Cost-of-illness studies often describe a single aggregate cost of a disease state. This approach is less helpful for a condition with a spectrum of outcomes like stroke.

Patient centered outcomes in stroke: utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale results in a community-based study [PDF]
Background and aimsThe transformation of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores based on the corresponding utilities of health-related quality of life questionnaires can facilitate the capture of Patient-Centered Outcomes (PCO) in stroke.

Repeated Measures of Modified Rankin Scale Scores to Assess Functional Recovery From Stroke: AFFINITY Study Findings. [PDF]
Background Function after acute stroke using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is usually assessed at a point in time. The analytical implications of serial mRS measurements to evaluate functional recovery over time is not completely understood. We compare

Association of Modified Rankin Scale With Recovery Phenotypes in Patients With Upper Extremity Weakness After Stroke. [PDF]
Background and Objectives Precise measurement of outcomes is essential for stroke trials and clinical care. Prior research has highlighted conceptual differences between global outcome measures such as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and domain-specific ...

Exploring the Reliability of the Modified Rankin Scale [PDF]
Background and Purpose— The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is the most prevalent outcome measure in stroke trials. Use of the mRS may be hampered by variability in grading. Previous estimates of the properties of the mRS have used diverse methodologies and may not apply to contemporary trial populations.
