The top result matches my question about the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and its bias towards left hemisphere strokes. It seems the NIHSS often underestimates right hemisphere strokes due to larger volumes for similar severity scores. The conclusion states that left hemisphere strokes appear worse because they have smaller volumes for the same NIHSS score. However, further exploration is needed on the clinical implications of this finding.
