Rangaraju S et al. Pittsburgh Response to Endovascular therapy (PRE) score: optimizing patient selection for endovascular therapy for large vessel occlusion strokes. J Neurointerv Surg. DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2014-011351. PMID: 25320054. Table 2 weights age 1, NIHSS 2, and ASPECTS −10, giving PRE = age in years + 2×NIHSS − 10×ASPECTS. Successful recanalization was associated with better outcomes for scores from −24 through 49, and not for scores below −24 or 50 or higher. (2015)
