Results
The distribution of the patients in the different groups is illustrated in Figure 2.
The majority of patients were in the groups 0 (Fig 3) and 2 (Fig 4) followed by the groups 1 and 4 (Fig 5).
Most of them (67%),
underwent endovenous thrombolysis (Fig 6).
A positive and statistically significant correlation (rs=.453,
p<.001),
between CT findings and NIHSS at admission (Fig 7),
was found,
while a low but positive statistically significant correlation,
was observed between CT findings and NIHSS (rs=.367,
p<.001) (Fig 7) and mRS (rs=.347,
p<.001) at discharge (Fig 8).
There was not a statistically significant correlation between mRS ad admission (Fig 8),
also due to poor clinical value of this scale in the acute phase.
There was also a correlation between perfusion scores and the number of patients who developed an hemorrhage,
with the exception of the score 0 (Fig 9).
