We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Automated (Auto)-, noncontrast CT (NCCT)- and CT perfusion (CTP) -ASPECTS for early ischemic changes (EICs) in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and to explore which scoring method is most suitable for predicting the clinical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Eighty-one patients with anterior circulation LVO were retrospectively enrolled and grouped as having a good\u00a0(0\u20132) or poor (3\u20136)\u00a0clinical outcome using a 90-day modified Rankin Scale score. Clinical characteristics and perfusion parameters were compared between the patients with good and poor outcomes. Differences in scores obtained with the three scoring methods were assessed.
