Accurate prediction of persistent upper extremity impairment in patients with ischemic stroke

I'd fire anyone who came to me with useless recovery prediction research like this.

Abstract: Study developed a simple and effective risk score for predicting which patients will have persistent impairment of upper-extremity motor function at 90 days post stroke. Data were analyzed for clinical trial patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke who were followed for 90 days to determine functional outcome; the cohort was divided into balanced derivation and validation samples. The primary outcome was persistent arm impairment, defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) arm domain score of 2 to 4 at 90 days in patients who had a 24-hour NIHSS arm score of 1 or more. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to determine the elements of the persistent upper-extremity impairment (PUPPI) index. Analyses included 1,653 patients (827 derivation, 826 validation), of whom 803 (48.6 percent) had persistent arm impairment. The PUPPI index gives 1 point each for age 55 years or older and NIHSS values of worse arm, worse leg, facial palsy, and total NIHSS (≥10). The optimal cut point for the PUPPI index was 3 or greater, at which the area under the curve was greater than 0.75 for the derivation and validation cohorts and when using NIHSS values from either 24 hours or in a subacute or discharge time window. Results were similar across different levels of stroke severity. The PUPPI index can be administered in minutes and could be used as inclusion criterion in recovery-related clinical trials or, with additional development, as a prognostic tool for patients, caregivers, and clinicians.
