ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

AIM:

The Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS) is an objective tool that has been used to rapidly assess and predict the presence of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the pre-hospital setting successfully in several studies. However, studies assessing the relationship between LAMS score and CT perfusion collateral status (CS) markers such as cerebral blood volume (CBV) index, and hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) are sparse. Our study therefore aims to assess the association of admission LAMS score with established CTP CS markers CBV Index and HIR in AIS-LVO cases. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

In this prospectively collected, retrospectively reviewed analysis, inclusion criteria were as follows a) CT angiography (CTA) confirmed anterior circulation LVO from 9/1/2017 to 10/01/2023, and b) diagnostic CT perfusion (CTP). Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between admission LAMS with CTP CS markers HIR and CBV Index. p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS:

In total, 285 consecutive patients (median age = 69 years; 56 % female) met our inclusion criteria. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusting for sex, age, ASPECTS, tPA, premorbid mRS, admission NIH stroke scale, prior history of TIA, stroke, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease and hypertension, admission LAMS was found to be independently associated with CBV Index (adjusted OR0.82, p < 0.01), and HIR (adjusted OR0.59, p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

LAMS is independently associated with CTP CS markers, CBV index and HIR. This finding suggests that LAMS may also provide an indirect estimate of CS.
