PLAN Score for Stroke
Predicts mortality and severe disability in acute ischemic stroke.
Advice
- Use this score to augment, but not replace, NIHSS, imaging, and clinical judgement when framing prognosis and guiding treatment discussions.
- Results should not be used to support or withhold reperfusion therapies.
- Be aware that a patient’s stroke trajectory may evolve in the days following onset; reassessment may provide a more reliable prognosis.
