- A positive HINTS exam: 100% sensitive and 96% specific for the presence of a central lesion.
- The HINTS exam was more sensitive than general neurological signs: 100% versus 51%.
- The sensitivity of early MRI with DWI for lateral medullary or pontine stroke was lower than that of the HINTS examination (72% versus 100%, P=0.004) with comparable specificity (100% versus 96%, P=1.0).
