Validation of TURN, a simple predictor of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after IV thrombolysis.
We recently described TURN (Thrombolysis risk Using mRS and NIHSS), a computationally simple tool for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after IV thrombolysis (rt-PA). Our objective was to compare TURN to existing scores for predicting sICH. ⋯ Despite its computational simplicity, TURN predicts sICH with accuracy comparable to existing scores.
