RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The impacts of stress hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia on mortality of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are largely unclear. This study aimed to use stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) to evaluate the influence of pretreatment relative blood glucose changes on mortality risk after MT. METHODS: The study retrospectively enrolled 321 acute ischemic stroke patients treated with MT. SHR was calculated as random blood glucose at admission divided by average blood glucose which estimated by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Patients with HbAlc greater than or equal to 6.5% were considered to have background hyperglycemia, patients were tertiled according to their SHR. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze 90 days mortality between SHR categories. RESULTS: Compared with the middle tertiles group (Q2) which the blood glucose is closet to baseline glycaemia, patients in the lowest tertiles group (Q1) and highest tertiles group (Q3) have a higher mortality risk (odds ratio [OR], 3.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.31-11.06) (OR, 3.18; 95% CI, 1.25-8.12), the differences is still significant after further adjusted for admission hyperglycemia (≥11.1 mmol/L). In patients without background hyperglycemia, the mortality risk is significantly higher in Q3 group (OR, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.06-8.53), no significant differences was found between three groups after adjusted for admission hyperglycemia (≥11.1 mmol/L). CONCLUSIONS: SHR identified acute ischemic stroke patients with relative hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia may have higher mortality risk after MT.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Early judgment of long-term prognosis is the key to making medical decisions in acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) after endovascular treatment (EVT). We aimed to investigate the relationship between the combination of 24-hour and 7-day relative neurological improvement (RNI) and 90-day functional outcome. METHODS: We selected the target population from a multicenter ischemic stroke registry. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at baseline, 24 hours, and 7 days were collected. RNI was calculated by the following equation: (baseline NIHSS - 24-hour/7-day NIHSS)/baseline NIHSS × 100%. A modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 90 days was defined as a favorable outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between RNI and 90-day outcome. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed to identify the predictive power and cutoff point of RNI for functional outcome. FINDINGS: A total of 568 patients were enrolled. Both 24-hour and 7-day RNI were independent predictors of 90-day outcome. The best cutoff points of 24-hour and 7-day RNI were 28% and 42%, respectively. Compared with those with 24-hour RNI of less than 28% and 7-day RNI of less than 42%, patients with 24-hour RNI of 28% or greater and 7-day RNI of 42% or greater had a 39.595-fold (95% confidence interval 22.388-70.026) increased probability of achieving 90-day favorable outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of 24-hour and 7-day RNI very strongly predicts 90-day functional outcome in patients with acute anterior circulation LVOS who received EVT, and it can be used as an early accurate surrogate of long-term outcome.

BACKGROUNDS AND PURPOSE: This study was aimed at investigating the outcomes and predictors for the poor functional outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT) in a large, mostly Asian population. METHODS: Between January 2014 and June 2016, acute stroke patients with anterior circulation occlusion and EVT were retrospectively enrolled from 21 stroke centers in China. The main outcomes were modified Rankin Scale (0-2 as functional independence, 3-6 as poor) at 90 days, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) at 72 h, and death at 90 days. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors for poor functional outcome at 90 days. RESULTS: Of the 698 patients, 304 (43.6%) patients had functional independence at 90 days. The sICH rate was 15.5% (108/698) and mortality rate at 90 days was 25.4% (177/698). Age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission (11-20 vs. ≤10, OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.23-4.59; ≥21 vs. ≤10, OR 3.66, 95% CI 1.72-7.80), baseline glucose level (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.18), onset to groin puncture >6 h (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.06-3.31), sICH (OR 15.49, 95% CI 5.16-46.43), and pneumonia (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.86-5.32) were independent predictors of poor functional outcomes, while good recanalization (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.13-0.54), preoperative Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 8-10 (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.28-0.83), and good collateral flow (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.32-0.79) were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence in real world to support the performance of EVT in acute anterior circulation stroke patients in Chinese population. Patients with small infarct core, successful recanalization, good collateral status, and short treatment delay without sICH or pneumonia may benefit from EVT.

Background: The long-term outcomes of acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) in anterior circulation treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to assess the 5-year outcomes of patients with LVO who underwent EVT. Methods: This study was an observational, nationwide registry of consecutive patients with acute LVO who received EVT in 28 comprehensive stroke centers in China. The primary outcome was the proportion of favorable outcome [modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) 0-2] at 5 years. Secondary outcomes included proportions of patients with excellent outcome (mRS 0-1), all-cause mortality and risk of stroke recurrence at 5 years. Results: A total of 807 patients were included into the study and had 90-day follow-up data, 657 patients had 5-year follow-up data. At 90 days, 218 patients (27.0%) had an excellent outcome, 349 patients (43.2%) had a favorable functional outcome. 199 patients (24.7%) died. At 5 years, 190 patients (28.9%) had an excellent outcome, 261 patients (39.7%) had a favorable functional outcome, 317 patients (48.2%) died and 129 (28.2%) had stroke recurrence. Because of missing 5-year follow-up data, among available 269 patients who achieved functional independence at 90 days, 208 (77.3%) maintained favorable outcome, 19 (7.1%) had disability (mRS 3-5) and 42 (15.6%) died at 5 years. Furthermore, among available 189 patients with mRS 3-5 at 90 days, 53 (28.0%) patients achieved favorable functional outcome, 60 (31.7%) patients maintained unfavorable functional outcome and 76 (40.2%) patients died within 5 years. Multivariate analyses identified that younger age [odds ratio (OR): 0.96; 95% CI, 0.93-0.99; P = 0.009], lower mRS at 90 days (OR: 0.15; 95% CI, 0.10-0.23; P < 0.001) and absence of stroke recurrence (OR: 0.001; 95% CI, 0.000-0.006; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with favorable outcome at 5 years. Advanced age (OR: 1.06, 95% CI, 1.04-1.08; P < 0.001), higher mRS at 90 days (OR: 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73-0.98; P = 0.021) and atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.63; 95% CI, 1.02-2.60; P = 0.04) were independent factors for stroke recurrence. Conclusion: Our results indicated that the beneficial effect of EVT in patients with acute LVO can be sustained during the course of at least 5 years. Reducing the risk of stroke recurrence by anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation may be a crucial strategy to improve long-term outcome.
RESUMEN
Importance: Several randomized clinical trials have recently established the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) of acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation. However, it remains uncertain whether patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) benefit from EVT. Objective: To evaluate the association between EVT and clinical outcomes of patients with acute BAO. Design, Setting, and Participants: This nonrandomized cohort study, the EVT for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study (BASILAR) study, was a nationwide prospective registry of consecutive patients presenting with an acute, symptomatic, radiologically confirmed BAO to 47 comprehensive stroke centers across 15 provinces in China between January 2014 and May 2019. Patients with acute BAO within 24 hours of estimated occlusion time were divided into groups receiving standard medical treatment plus EVT or standard medical treatment alone. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the improvement in modified Rankin Scale scores (range, 0 to 6 points, with higher scores indicating greater disability) at 90 days across the 2 groups assessed as a common odds ratio using ordinal logistic regression shift analysis, adjusted for prespecified prognostic factors. The secondary efficacy outcome was the rate of favorable functional outcomes defined as modified Rankin Scale scores of 3 or less (indicating an ability to walk unassisted) at 90 days. Safety outcomes included symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and 90-day mortality. Results: A total of 1254 patients were assessed, and 829 patients (of whom 612 were men [73.8%]; median [interquartile] age, 65 [57-74] years) were recruited into the study. Of these, 647 were treated with standard medical treatment plus EVT and 182 with standard medical treatment alone. Ninety-day functional outcomes were substantially improved by EVT (adjusted common odds ratio, 3.08 [95% CI, 2.09-4.55]; P < .001). Moreover, EVT was associated with a significantly higher rate of 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores of 3 or less (adjusted odds ratio, 4.70 [95% CI, 2.53-8.75]; P < .001) and a lower rate of 90-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 2.93 [95% CI, 1.95-4.40]; P < .001) despite an increase in symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (45 of 636 patients [7.1%] vs 1 of 182 patients [0.5%]; P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with acute BAO, EVT administered within 24 hours of estimated occlusion time is associated with better functional outcomes and reduced mortality.
