Background and Purpose-The objective was to determine the occurrence of neurological changes during the first 48 hours after acute stroke as it relates to initial stroke severity,Methods The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was performed serially for the first 48 hours on 127 consecutive ischemic stroke patients (129 strokes) admitted to the neuroscience intensive care unit. Incidence of stroke progression (a greater than or equal to 3-point increase on the NIHSS) was recorded and analysis performed to determine its association with initial stroke severity and other demographic and physiological variables, Deficit resolution by 48 hours, defined as an NIHSS score of 0 or 1, measured the frequency of functional recovery predicted by the initial deficit,Results-Overall progression was noted in 31% of events (40/129). Applying Bayes' solution to the observed frequency of worsening, the greatest likelihood of predicting future patient progression occurs with stratification at NIHSS scores of less than or equal to 7 and >7. Patients with an initial NIHSS of less than or equal to 7 experienced a 14.8% (13/88) worsening rate versus a those with a score of >7 with a 65.9% (27/41) worsening rate (P7 returned to a normal examination within this period (chi(2), P
