ABSTRACT
Objective:
To assess pretreatment and interventional parameters as predictors of favorable Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) scores for optimal discharge planning.Design:
In this prospectively collected, retrospectively reviewed multicenter study from 9/1/2017 to 9/22/2022, patients were dichotomized into favorable and unfavorable AM-PAC. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operator characteristics analyses were performed for the identified significant variables. A P value of ≤.05 was significant.Setting:
Hospitalized care.Participants:
In total, 229 patients (mean ±SD 70.65 ±15.2 [55.9% women]) met our inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were (a) computed tomography (CT) angiography confirmed LVO from 9/1/2017 to 9/22/2022; (b) diagnostic CT perfusion; and (c) available AM-PAC scores.Interventions:
None. Main OutcomeMeasures:
Favorable AM-PAC, defined as a daily activity score ≥19 and basic mobility score of ≥17.Results:
Patients with favorable AM-PAC were younger (61.3 vs 70.7, P<.001), had lower admission glucose (mean, 124 vs 136, P=.042), lower blood urea nitrogen (mean, 15.59 vs 19.11, P<.001), and lower admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (mean, 10.58 vs 16.15, P<.001). No differences in sex were noted. Multivariate regression analyses revealed age, admission NIHSS, relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) <30% volume, and modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score to be independent predictors of favorable AM-PAC (P<.047 for all predictors). The combined model revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83 (IQR 0.75-0.86).Conclusion:
Excellent recanalization, smaller core volumes, younger age, and lower stroke severity independently predict favorable outcomes as measured by AM-PAC.
