The Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Grading Scale (CVT-GS) has just been added to NeuroMind’s interactive tools. It predicts 30-day mortality and 30-day modified Rankin scale > 2 based on 4-5 parameters. In the app it is immediately available (you’ll need to restart the app if it’s open), and you can also access the CVT-GS on NeuroMind’s…Continue Reading…

It is called the CHA2DS2-VASc score, which is an improved version of the classic CHADS2-score. The new score consists of these items: Besides a scoring systems and corresponding risk rates, the authors also propose…Continue Reading…
According to this summary on Stroke.org, “the ABCD2 score is a risk assessment tool designed to improve the prediction of short-term stroke risk after a transient ischemic attack (TIA). The score is optimized to predict the risk of stroke within 2 days after a TIA”. More information is available here. Here is how it looks…Continue Reading…
