Table 4 Description of the PREP2 algorithm, for prediction of UL recovery
From: Patient’s assessment and prediction of recovery after stroke: a roadmap for clinicians
Assessment at 72 h | Parameters cut-off | Prediction at 3 months | Accuracy of prediction |
|---|---|---|---|
Age Strength (MRC) at SAFE TMS (MEPs) NIHSS | SAFE ≥ 8 and age < 80 y | Excellent (ARAT 50–57) | 75% |
5 ≤ SAFE < 8 and age > 80 y | Good (ARAT 34–48) | ||
SAFE < 5, MEP + and NIHSS < 7 | Limited (ARAT 13–31) | ||
SAFE < 5, MEP- and NIHSS ≥ 7 | Poor (ARAT 0–9) |
