Our findings likely represent the maximum sensitivities of the LVO prediction scales tested for ideal thrombectomy candidates in the 6-to-24-h time window because NIHSS scores were documented in hospitals during a clinical trial rather than in the prehospital setting. Patients with NIHSS scores < 10 or more distal LVOs would lower sensitivities further. Selecting even higher scale thresholds for LVO triage would lead to many missed LVO strokes.
