Cerebrovascular Session-Validation of the TAG Score as a Predictive Model for Symptomatic ICH following Mechanical Thrombectomy

Validation of the TAG Score as a Predictive Model for Symptomatic ICH following Mechanical Thrombectomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the validation of the TAG score as a predictive model for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage following mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. The TAG score includes factors such as modified TICI results, aspect scores, and glucose scores to predict the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The study found that patients with lower TICI results and aspect scores, as well as higher glucose scores, had a higher risk of developing symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. The validation cohort had an area under the curve of 0.69, indicating the model's ability to predict the adverse outcome. The study concluded that the TAG score adequately predicts intracranial hemorrhage but suggests the inclusion of additional predictors for a more robust model.
