The screening instruments' concordance in classifying cognition into normal cognition versus CI was 75% (AC1 = 0.62) for MMSE and PANDA, 63.5% (AC1 = 0.28) for MoCA and PANDA, and 57.3% (AC1 = 0.24) for MMSE and MoCA. The provided conversion table enables a quick and easy transformation of the three screening instruments within PD diagnostics. CONCLUSION These results contribute to a better understanding of the screenings' utility and concordance in a population of PD patients. Additionally, communication between clinics may be enhanced. BACKGROUND Patency of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in acute ischemic stroke with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusions is associated with less severe stroke and favorable outcomes. However, thrombus migration to distal intracranial vessels may lead to unfavorable outcomes. We investigated the influence of thrombus migration on clinical outcomes in patients with ICA occlusions and patent MCA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with acute ischemic stroke compromising ICA occlusions and patent MCA who were consecutively admitted to our hospital between January 2006 and March 2016. Thrombus migration was assessed (1) by analyzing the discrepancies in arterial occlusion sites between initial imaging and follow-up imaging and (2) by analyzing how occlusion sites changed during endovascular therapy. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients (mean age 74.9 years; 23 men, 15 women, median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score = 7.5) with ICA occlusions and patent MCA were ultimately included. We identified 10 patients (26%) with thrombus migration (spontaneous 3; during endovascular therapy 7). Patients with thrombus migration had higher rates of unfavorable functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale scores 3-6 at 90 days) than those without thrombus migration (90%
