Improved ischemic stroke outcome prediction using model estimation of outcome probability: the THRIVE-c calculation’ - Alexander Flint

The THRIVE score is a previously validated ischemic stroke outcome prediction tool. While simplified scoring systems like the THRIVE score facilitate ease-of-use, when computers or devices are available at the point of care, a more accurate and patient- specific estimation of outcome probability should be possible by computing the logistic equation with patient-specific continuous variables. I’m Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke and I spoke to Dr Alexander Flint author of the article ‘Improved ischemic stroke outcome prediction using model estimation of outcome probability: the THRIVE-c calculation’.
