PLAN Score (Stroke 30-Day Mortality)
PLAN score (O’Donnell 2012): preadmission comorbidities, level of consciousness, age, and neurologic deficits (arm/leg weakness, aphasia/neglect) give a 0–25 score predicting 30-day mortality after ischemic stroke.

Example
- Age
- 80 years
- Preadmission dependence
- No
- Cancer
- No
- Congestive heart failure
- No
- Atrial fibrillation
- No
- Reduced level of consciousness
- Yes
- Arm weakness
- Yes
- Leg weakness
- No
- Aphasia or neglect
- No
Result: PLAN score 15 — high 30-day mortality / severe-disability risk (>= 15).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- < 15
- Lower 30-day mortality / severe-disability risk.
- >= 15
- High risk. Preadmission comorbidities + level of consciousness + age + neurologic deficits. A prognostic score, not a treatment order.
What you enter
