A cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 Malaysian patients to validate the usefulness of the Siriraj Stroke Score (SSS) for differentiating intracerebral haemorrhage and infarction following acute strokes. Our results indicate that the score lacks sensitivity and specificity. It should thus not be used in epidemiological studies to determine stroke types in a community. More importantly, in the absence of information from neuroimaging of the brain, it cannot be used safely by physicians to assess the need or otherwise of thrombolytic and/or anticoagulant therapy after an acute stroke.
