Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of modified NIHSS and MRI-PC-ASPECTS for the long-term prognosis in posterior circulation ischemic stroke. Methods Seventy eight patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke were divided into two groups depended on MRS: good outcome group and bad outcome group. General information of patients was collected and vascular risk factors, NIHSS, MRI-PC-ASPECTS of the two groups were compared. Results The scores of admission NIHSS and highest NIHSS of bad outcome group were higher than that of good outcome group. The scores of MRI-PC-ASPECTS, T admission NIHSS (42-admission NIHSS) and T highest NIHSS of bad outcome group were lower than that of good outcome group (P<0.05). The areas under the ROC curves of MRI-PC-ASPECTS+T highest NIHSS, MRI-PC-ASPECTS, T highest NIHSS and T admission NIHSS were 0.907, 0.821, 0.870, 0.744, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion NIHSS and MRI-PC-ASPECTS can predict the functional prognosis in patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke.
