Description
Pichatorn Suppakitjanusant and colleagues test a risk score for brain vein clots in a 2026 study. The 10-point CLOTS-EVT score bundles warning signs such as low awareness, low platelets and sodium, seizures, and wide clot spread to flag early decline and guide clot removal timing. Records spanned 12 centres from 2015 to 2017.
In total, 80 adults were scored. Headache was the top symptom, and most patients received blood thinners while 10 percent had vessel procedures in the reported care. A score of 4 or more predicted early decline with 82 percent sensitivity and 61 percent specificity in the validation values. Higher scores also tracked with worse discharge function and longer stays.
