Grant Mair on RITeS-Large independent assessment of AI software: eASPECTS, eCTA:
moderate agreement between e-ASPECT v expert human ASPECT scores; moderate agreement between eCTA and expert humans for locating obstruction on CTA. @TheStrokeAssoc@EdinUniBrainSci @EdinUniNeuroImg
New MICON score uses cerebral microbleeds to improve prediction of ICH. David Werring suggests it can be used for prediction in individual patients. Are #CMB finally useful in risk prediction? @CamStroke@UCLStrokeRes

Great job @JimSiegler for taking the lead in writing this up-to-date and balanced perspective on the pros and cons of iv thrombolysis prior to thrombectomy.Much needed further data (especially for subgroups) will come from ongoing randomized trials.

..in daily practice many physicians extrapolate results of CHANCE/POINT(and now THALES ?)to patients with moderate/severe stroke.Efficacy of this approach remains to be proven.
Also, should Ticagrelor be substituted for Clopidogrel(and viceversa) if innitial DAPT regimen failes ?
Proud of paper co-authored with former UPMC colleagues highlighting the center's unique contribution to stroke thrombectomy trials. Highest # of pts randomized across trials (n=134) yielded statistically significant result: 3 mo mRS 0-2 53% vs 26%, p<0.001 https://t.co/CQShGaPBkX

♀️ w fluctuating aphasia for 8 hrs.NIHSS 2 on telemed. CTA L M1 occlusion.Upon arrival to @CooperHealthNJ NIHSS 6. Taken to angio.TICI 2c. D/C to rehab within 48 hrs with NIHSS 1. Who says nonagenerians should not get thrombectomy ?
Racecat presented at the #ESOWSO2020 showing an efficient management of stroke patients through the network, RACE scale predicted LVO, but mothership transfer was not superior for LVO suspected patients.
