Lack of standardization in the nomenclature of dating strokes or the desperate search for a common language
Subject
reading radiology
Description
Introduction
When reading radiology reports from various medical
institutions across Europe, a pronounced lack of consen-
sus emerges regarding the definition of stroke and infarc-
tion stages. This ambiguity persists despite significant
advancements in stroke management and the develop-
ment of novel time frames for mechanical thrombectomy
procedures. Terms such as “hyperacute,” “acute”, and
“subacute” are employed in varying and often overlap-
ping contexts, leading to confusion among practitioners.
Consequently, many thrombectomy research studies
have resorted to using the time of symptom onset in con-
junction with the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score
(ASPECTS) as a proxy to delineate the timing and nature
of stroke interventions [1].
Methods We have summarized the terminology com-
monly used in our neuroradiological clinical practice
regarding the state of strokes / infarcts in a graphic. It
could serve as a proposal for standardization.
