Reliability of modified Rankin Scale assessment with a Japanese version of simplified modified Rankin Scale Questionnaire (J-RASQ)

Rinsho Shinkeigaku, 2019
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is widely used as an indicator of physical disability after the onset of stroke and a main evaluation scale in clinical stroke trials but sometimes has discrepancies among raters. We designed a Japanese version of simplified mRS questionnaire (J-RASQ) to evaluate mRS using closed question to assess the difference from the ...

Appropriate use of antiplatelet medications following transient ischemic attacks and stroke: a 9-year study from the Middle East

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Background and purposeGuidelines recommend that patients with high-risk TIAs and minor strokes presenting within 1–3 days from onset should be offered dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

Effect of a strategy of a supraglottic airway device vs tracheal intubation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on functional outcome [PDF]

, 2018
Importance The optimal approach to airway management during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is unknown. Objective To determine whether a supraglottic airway device (SGA) is superior to tracheal intubation (TI) as the initial advanced airway ...

Categorizing stroke prognosis using different stroke scales [PDF]

, 2009
<p><b>Background and Purpose</b>: Stroke severity and dependency are often categorized to allow stratification for randomization or analysis. However, there is uncertainty whether the categorizations used for different stroke scales are

The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stroke has global importance and it causes an increasing amount of human suffering and economic burden, but its management is far from optimal. The unsuccessful outcome of several research programs highlights the need for reliable

Reliability of the Modified Rankin Scale Across Multiple Raters [PDF]

Stroke, 2005
Background and Purpose— The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is widely used to assess global outcome after stroke. The aim of the study was to examine rater variability in assessing functional outcomes using the conventional mRS, and to investigate whether use of a structured interview (mRS-SI) reduced ...

Effect of Statin Administration After Onset of Acute Ischemic Stroke With Large Vessel Occlusion: Insights From RESCUE‐Japan Registry 2

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Statins have been associated with reduced recurrence and better functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the effect of statins in patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) is not well scrutinized. Methods and
