Early prediction of cerebral-cardiac syndrome after ischemic stroke: The PANSCAN scale

Absolutely fucking useless. We don't need a prediction. WE NEED A PROTOCOL THAT PREVENTS THIS FROM OCCURRING! ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID? 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke 'leader' will ream me out for making them look bad by being truthful , I look forward to that day.

Early prediction of cerebral-cardiac syndrome after ischemic stroke: The PANSCAN scale

BMC Neurology|July 10, 2020

Via involving 410 cases from four tertiary medical centers from June 2018 to April 2019, researchers sought to produce a risk prediction scale to stratify a high-risk population of the cerebral cardiac syndrome (CCS) among ischemic stroke patients. Data reported that CCS prevalence in the study was 55.2%. The authors proved in this study that age, gender, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, neutrophil, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and carotid stenosis were independent risk factors for CCS in patients with stroke. The risk prediction model displayed satisfactory prediction effects. For high-risk patients, the PANSCAN scale offers a convenient reference for preventative care and early intervention.
