Predicting Prognosis of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Using Modified DRAGON Score

Results: Among 40 AIS patients treated with MT, the proportions with a good outcome (mRS score=0-2) in the groups with mDRAGON scores of 2 or 3, 4 or 5, 6 or 7, and 8-10 were 75%, 20%, 0%, and 0%, respectively, while the corresponding proportions with a poor outcome (mRS score=3-6) were 25%, 80%, 100%, and 100%. For the prediction of a good outcome at 3 months (mRS score=0-2), the area under the ROC curve of the mDRAGON scores was 0.87 (0.76-0.90). Conclusions: The mDRAGON score can be used to reliably predict the clinical outcome of AIS patients following endovascular treatment. J Korean Neurol Assoc 33(4):259-264, 2015
