🧠 THRIVE Score (Stroke Outcome)
UseWhen to use: acute ischemic stroke prognostication alongside NIHSS.
StrataHigher THRIVE → poorer published mRS outcome bands.
LimitsWhen not to use: as sole thrombolysis gate. · Pitfall: mixing admission vs post-EVT timing. · Local stroke pathways prevail.

When to use
When to use: acute ischemic stroke prognostication alongside NIHSS.
How it works
Age 0–2 + NIHSS bands 0–8 + glucose≥100 (+1) + HTN/DM/AF (+1 each).
Key points
- 0–14.
- Age+NIHSS+comorbid.
- Next: stroke unit care.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Age | 60–79 y (+1) |
|---|---|
| NIHSS | 11–15 (+4) |
| Glucose ≥100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) | No (0) |
| Hypertension history | No (0) |
| Diabetes mellitus | No (0) |
| Atrial fibrillation | No (0) |
→THRIVE5/14
- Cue：Higher THRIVE — poorer functional outcome likelihood band

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does THRIVE Score (Stroke Outcome) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is THRIVE Score (Stroke Outcome) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Age 60–79 y (+1), NIHSS 11–15 (+4), Glucose ≥100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) No (0), Hypertension history No (0), Diabetes mellitus No (0), Atrial fibrillation No (0) → Result: THRIVE 5 /14（Cue: Higher THRIVE — poorer functional outcome likelihood band） Inputs: Age ≤59 y (0), NIHSS ≤5 (0), Glucose ≥100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) No (0), Hypertension history No (0), Diabetes mellitus No (0), Atrial fibrillation No (0) → Result: THRIVE 0 /14（Cue: Lower THRIVE — better outcome likelihood band）
