Question: Significance of baseline mRS in calculation of CSTK-10
If a patient's baseline/pre-symptom modified rankin score is 3 or more, should that patient be included in the denominator population for calculation of CSTK-10?
Answer:
Suman,
The patient is included in the denominator. The pre-stroke Modified Rankin Score is collected for risk adjustment only and not used to calculate the measure rate. Thank you for your inquiry.
