Let’s design the ideal • prognostic score… • not too many variables • readily available variables • simple to calculate • applicable as early as possible • widely-used scale for outcome assessment • validated externally • validated in large population • validated in multiple populations • Modified Rankin Scale score • Barthel index • Glasgow outcome scale • Oxford Handicap Scale

Take-home messages • the ASTRAL score is a very reliable prognostic score • it calculates the probability of poor outcome at three months • it can be used already at admission • it is very simple to use, especially with the help of the color chart
