Popis: Background: Prognostic scales can be helpful for selecting patients for reperfusion treatment.

Methods: Using data from the prospective registry of all reperfusion treatments administered in Catalonia, we selected patients treated with IV rtPA alone between 2011 and 2012. The SPAN-100 index was calculated as the sum of age (years) and NIHSS score, and patients in the cohort were classified as SPAN-100 positive [≥100] or SPAN-100 negative [
