Role of CHA2DS2-VASc score for severity and outcome prediction in acute ischemic stroke: a cross-sectional study from tertiary care center of Nepal
The CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score demonstrates significant predictive value in evaluating both the severity and functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients. In this study, a higher CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score was associated with more severe stroke presentations and poorer discharge outcomes. Given its simplicity and reliance on readily available clinical data, the CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score can serve as a practical, cost-effective tool for early prognostic stratification in AIS management.
