We read with great interest the article entitled ‘Nomogram for predicting early neurological deterioration in patients with mild large and medium vessel occlusion stroke intended for medical management: a multicenter retrospective study’ by Qiu et al.1 The authors have conducted an important study, aimed at developing and validating nomograms for predicting the risk of early neurological deterioration (END) in a specific patient population—a commendable endeavor.
