简要总结
The goal of this study was to translate and culturally adapt NIHSS into Urdu language and to evaluate its reliability and validity in Pakistani stroke population. Also assess its correlation with Glasgow Coma Scale, Modified Rankin Scale and Barthel Index for severity and location of post-stroke impairment.
详细描述
As per preceding commendation, NIHSS has been translated into Urdu language from its English version and adapted culturally in Pakistan. Among stroke population, NIHSS-U has been administered in 225 patients recruited by convenience sampling technique under the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria after signing consent forms. For testing inter-observer reliability and intra-observer reliability of NIHSS-U, GCS, mRS, and BI, questionnaires has been administered by two observers, on the same day, with a time interval of 2 hours between 1st and 2nd administration. As for the 3rd administration, it has been carried out after seven days by the first observer (re-testing), for intra-observer assessment. SPSS software version 24 has been used for the purpose of data entry and analysis. Internal consistency has been analyzed with Cronbach alpha value. Test-retest reliability has been assessed by using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The NIHSS-U has evaluated for content validity, construct validity, criterion validity and responsiveness.

结局指标
主要结局
Glasgow Coma Scale
时间窗: 1st day
Glasgow Coma Scale is employed for patients suffering from head injury and has three components: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Score ranges from 3-15, lower score stands worse outcome
Barthel Index
时间窗: 1st day
Barthel Index is use to assess the level of independence and autonomy of stroke patient in performing ADLs. It is a list of 10 elementary ADLs: feeding, grooming, bathing, dressing, bowel and bladder care, toilet use, ambulation, transfers, and stair climbing. The activities are rated through time taken and assistance used by patient. Score ranges from 0-100.
Modified Rankin Scale
时间窗: 1st day
Modified Rankin Scale is use to assess the degree of remaining disabilities while recovering from stroke. In mRS, 0-6 levels stands as; "0" for no symptom at all, "1" for no significant disability, "2" for slight disability, "3" for moderate disability, "4" for moderately severe disability, "5" for severe disability, and "6" for dead.
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
时间窗: 1st day
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale is a standardised evaluation tool for determining the neurological impairments that are most often encountered in acute stroke patients. It measures awareness, vision, visual fields, facial weakness, extremity motor performance, sensory deficiency, coordination (ataxia), language (aphasia), speech (dysarthria), and hemi-inattention (neglect).
