Li et al reported a simple score for evaluating a Chinese patient with cerebral venous thrombosis. The authors are from Capital Medical University in Beijing.
Patient selection: Chinese patient with cerebral venous thrombosis
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) in ng/mL
(3) diastolic blood pressure in mm Hg
(4) neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR)

total score =
= SUM(points for all of the parameters)
Interpretation:
• minimum score: 0
• maximum score: 7
• A score > 3 is associated with a significantly higher modified Rankin scale.
• A score <= 3 is associated with a good outcome (modified Rankin scale < 1).
Performance:
• The area under the ROC curve is 0.88.
