Table 4:

Number and percentage of patients achieving a clinically meaningful recanalization stratified against the CMR score

CMR ScoreFrequency of CMR (%)
09/13 (69%)
112/34 (35%)
211/35 (31%)
34/31 (13%)
40/13 (0%)
  • Note:—CMR score is the sum of the stratified NIHSS score and the occlusion location score. For NIHSS, 0 = NIHSS 0–7; 1 = NIHSS 8–14; 2 = NIHSS 15–20; 3 = NIHSS >20. For occlusions, ICA and proximal M1 = 1; distal M1 and M2–M4 segments = 0. Scores range from 0–4. A higher CMR corresponded to a lower frequency of successful recanalization with IV-rtPA.
