요약	The NIHSS is the standard acute stroke severity assessment tool used in emergency departments, stroke centers, and clinical trials worldwide. Developed by the NIH Stroke Study Group in 1989, the 15-item scale provides rapid, reproducible quantification of acute neurological deficit from ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. NIHSS scores inform thrombolytic and thrombectomy eligibility, predict outcomes, and serve as primary endpoint in stroke intervention trials.	The WFNS Scale is a standardized grading system for assessing severity and prognosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) published by the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies in 1988. The five-point scale combines the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) with presence of motor deficit to classify SAH severity. The WFNS Scale is more objective than the earlier Hunt-Hess Scale and is increasingly preferred in contemporary neurosurgical practice, particularly in Europe and internationally.
