• Age ≥ 60, and diffusion restriction in caudate nucleus and putamen were the independent prognostic factors of poor overall survival in sCJD. • Based on our DWI prognostic score model, median overall survival in high-risk group was 1.7 months, which was significantly shorter than those in the intermediate-risk group (14.2 months) and low-risk group (26.5 months) (p < 0.001). • The proposed DWI prognostic score model may be useful in clinical settings for disease stratification.
