Alternate article, now a redirect[edit]

Something contained within here[1] might be worth incorporating into this article. Biosthmors (talk) 22:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[edit]

Is it possible that NIH stroke scale is the WP:COMMONNAME? Biosthmors (talk) 22:58, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is definitely true that NIH stroke Scale is the same as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. Im not sure why both pages existed before I started editing, but should I delete one of them and just have it redirect to the full article? Pfeibelman (talk) 01:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I already took care of the redirect, I just wonder what the common name is. What's your impression from seeing the literature? Biosthmors (talk) 23:07, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a tough call, but in most cases it is refered to the first time as the "National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale" and from there on out just called NIHSS. Pfeibelman (talk) 13:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Scores in a table?[edit]

In the lead, maybe we should put the scores in a table like the one at Dengue_fever#Diagnosis that is used for warning signs. Other WP:TABLES also exist. Biosthmors (talk) 23:14, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I'll work on that Pfeibelman (talk) 01:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
