Critical evaluation of the modified Rankin Scale for assessment of the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy: A retrospective comparison between the modified Rankin Scale and functional independence measure. [PDF]
Objective The primary outcome measure used in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) trials is the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). However, the accuracy of mRS might be limited. On the other hand, the functional independence measure (FIM) is a widely used tool to quantify the extent to which patients require assistance ...
