Response: We completely agree with Urra and Chamorro that stroke severity measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and infarct volumes are very closely correlated. In our data, the application of infarct volumes instead of admission NIHSS improved the multiple regression model fit and thereby the accuracy of predicting stroke-associated infections. We absolutely assent that performing an NIHSS is done much quicker than applying infarct volumetry. This is particularly true for applying CT in hyperacute patients with stroke in which it may be impossible to predict final infarct …
