What are the measures used to determine the outcome after an acute stroke ?
Some of the standard measures include:
* Barthel index is a reliable and valid measure of the ability to perform activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, walking and using the toilet.
• Modified Rankin Scale is a simplified overall assessment of function in which a score of 0 indicates the absence of symptoms and a score of 5 shows severe disability.
• Glasgow Outcome Scale is a global assessment of function in which a score of 1 indicates good recovery, a score of 2 moderate disability, a score of 3 severe disability, a score of 4 survival but in a vegetative state, and a score of 5 death.
• NIH Stroke Scale, a serial measure of neurological deficit, is a 42-point scale that quantifies neurological deficits in 11 categories. For example, a mild facial paralysis is given a score of 1 and complete right hemiplegia with aphasia, gaze deviation, visual field deficit, dysarthria and sensory loss is given a score of 25. Normal function without neurological deficit is
scored as zero.
