Kent DM et al. An index to identify stroke-related vs incidental patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke. Neurology. DOI: 10.1212/WNL.0b013e3182a08d59. PMID: 23864310. Scope: RoPE points from younger age strata (0–5), absence of hypertension, diabetes, prior stroke/TIA, and smoking, plus cortical infarct on imaging (each +1); higher scores indicate greater probability that PFO is pathogenic rather than incidental.
