Vital instability in the first 72 h of hospitalization for ischaemic stroke or SAH is associated with death or dependency at 90 days. Impaired consciousness was the main driver of this relationship. NEWS may not be appropriate for patients with acute stroke, mainly due to the dichotomous manner in which the level of consciousness is classified, and modification of NEWS should be considered for these patients.
