Outcomes of 87 patients with ischemic stroke imaged by NCCT and CTA and classified by BASIS and ASPECTS
| Variable | Major Stroke by BASIS and ASPECTS (n = 22) | Major by BASIS Minor by ASPECTS (n = 21) | Minor Stroke by BASIS and ASPECTS (n = 44) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deaths, n | 5* | 1 | 0* |
| Discharge to rehabilitation facility, n (%) | 16 (94)†‡ | 16 (80)†‡ | 4 (9)† |
| Discharge to home, n (%) | 1 (6)†‡ | 4 (20)†‡ | 34 (77)† |
| Length of stay, days (SE) | 14.8 (2.4)§‖ | 9.9 (1.1)§‖ | 3.7 (0.4)§ |
Note:—NCCT indicates noncontrast CT; CTA, CT angiography; BASIS, Boston Acute Stroke Imaging Scale; ASPECTS, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score. There were significant differences in deaths between the BASIS and ASPECTS major stroke group and the minor stroke group classified by BASIS and ASPECTS. Highly significant differences in discharge to rehabilitation and discharge to home were found between the 2 groups that had major stroke classification and the patients classified as minor strokes by BASIS and ASPECTS.
* P < .003.
† All P < .0001.
‡ No significant differences in these outcomes were found between the BASIS and ASPECTS major stroke and BASIS major/ASPECTS minor stroke groups.
§ P < .0001.
‖ Significant differences were found in length of stay between the 2 groups that had major stroke classification and the patients classified as having minor strokes by BASIS and ASPECTS but not between the BASIS and ASPECTS major stroke and BASIS major/ASPECTS minor stroke groups.
