The Addition of Atrial Fibrillation to the Los Angeles Motor Scale May Improve Prediction of Large Vessel Occlusion

Abstract: There is evidence suggesting that Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS) ࣙ 4 predicts large vessel occlusion (LVO). We aim to determine whether atrial fibrillation (AF) can improve the ability of LAMS in predicting LVO. METHODS: We included consecutive patients with a discharge diagnosis of ischemic stroke admitted within 24 hours from last known normal time who underwent emergent vascular imaging using a computerized tomography angiography (CTA) of the head and neck. LVO was defined as intracranial internal carotid a… Show more

“…The presence of speech disturbance is not, but its severity was associated with LVO in our study, which highlights how severity assessment may improve stroke scales. Weighting of scale items or adding anamnestic data (such as history of AF) to stroke scales could improve their ability to predict LVO in AIS [14,15].…”
