RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Predicting stroke recurrence for individual patients is difficult, but individualized prediction may improve stroke survivors' engagement in self-care. We developed PRERISK: a statistical and machine learning classifier to predict individual risk of stroke recurrence. METHODS: We analyzed clinical and socioeconomic data from a prospectively collected public health care-based data set of 41â 975 patients admitted with stroke diagnosis in 88 public health centers over 6 years (2014-2020) in Catalonia-Spain. A new stroke diagnosis at least 24 hours after the index event was considered as a recurrent stroke, which was considered as our outcome of interest. We trained several supervised machine learning models to provide individualized risk over time and compared them with a Cox regression model. Models were trained to predict early, late, and long-term recurrence risk, within 90, 91 to 365, and >365 days, respectively. C statistics and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were used to assess the accuracy of the models. RESULTS: Overall, 16.21% (5932 of 36â 114) of patients had stroke recurrence during a median follow-up of 2.69 years. The most powerful predictors of stroke recurrence were time from previous stroke, Barthel Index, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, age, diabetes, and sex, which were used to create a simplified model with similar performance, together with modifiable vascular risk factors (glycemia, body mass index, high blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco dependence, and alcohol abuse). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.76 (95% CI, 0.74-0.77), 0.60 (95% CI, 0.58-0.61), and 0.71 (95% CI, 0.69-0.72) for early, late, and long-term recurrence risk, respectively. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the Cox risk class probability were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.72-0.75), 0.59 (95% CI, 0.57-0.61), and 0.67 (95% CI, 0.66-0.70); machine learning approaches (random forest and AdaBoost) showed statistically significant improvement (P<0.05) over the Cox model for the 3 recurrence time periods. Stroke recurrence curves can be simulated for each patient under different degrees of control of modifiable factors. CONCLUSIONS: PRERISK is a novel approach that provides a personalized and fairly accurate risk prediction of stroke recurrence over time. The model has the potential to incorporate dynamic control of risk factors.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Transfemoral access is predominantly used for mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke with a large vessel occlusion. Following the interventional cardiology guidelines, routine transradial access has been proposed as an alternative, although its safety and efficacy remain controversial. We aim to explore the noninferiority of radial access in terms of final recanalization. METHODS: The study was an investigator-initiated, single-center, evaluator-blinded, noninferiority randomized clinical trial. Patients with stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, with a patent femoral artery and a radial artery diameter ≥2.5 mm, were randomly assigned (1:1) to either transradial (60 patients) or transfemoral access (60 patients). The primary binary outcome was the successful recanalization (expanded Treatment in Cerebral Ischemia score, 2b-3) assigned by blinded evaluators. We established a noninferiority margin of -13.2%, considering an acceptable reduction of 15% in the expected recanalization rates. RESULTS: From September 2021 to July 2023, 120 patients were randomly assigned and 116 (58 transradial access and 58 transfemoral access) with confirmed intracranial occlusion on the initial angiogram were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Successful recanalization was achieved in 51 (87.9%) patients assigned to transfemoral access and in 56/58 (96.6%) patients assigned to transradial (adjusted 1 side risk difference [RD], -5.0% [95% CI, -6.61% to +13.1%]) showing noninferiority of transradial access. Median time from angiosuite arrival to first pass (femoral, 30 [interquartile range, 25-37] minutes versus radial: 41 [interquartile range, 33-62] minutes; P<0.001) and from angiosuite arrival to recanalization (femoral: 42 (IQR, 28-74) versus radial: 59.5 (IQR, 44-81) minutes; P<0.050) were longer in the transradial access group. Both groups presented 1 severe access complication and there was no difference in the rate of access conversion: transradial 7 (12.1%) versus transfemoral 5 (8.6%) (P=0.751). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy, transradial access was noninferior to transfemoral access in terms of final recanalization. Procedural delays may favor transfemoral access as the default first-line approach. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT05225636.

BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is part of the usual care for proximal vessel occlusion strokes. However, the safety and effectiveness of EVT for distal medium vessel occlusions remain unclear. We sought to compare the clinical outcomes of EVT to medical management (MM) for isolated distal medium vessel occlusions. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from seven comprehensive stroke centers. Patients were included if they had isolated distal medium vessel occlusion strokes due to middle cerebral artery M3/M4, anterior cerebral artery A2/A3, or posterior cerebral artery P1/P2 segments. Patients treated with EVT or MM were compared with multivariable logistic regression and inverse probability of treatment weighting. The primary outcome was the shift in the degree of disability as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. Secondary outcomes included 90-day good (mRS score, 0-2) and excellent (mRS score, 0-1) outcomes. Safety measures included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and 90-day mortality. RESULTS: A total of 321 patients were included in the analysis (EVT, 179; MM, 142; 40.8% treated with intravenous thrombolysis). In the inverse probability of treatment weighting model, there were no significant differences between EVT and MM in terms of the overall degree of disability (mRS ordinal shift; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.25 [95% CI, 0.95-1.64]; P=0.110), rates of good (mRS score, 0-2; aOR, 1.32 [95% CI, 0.97-1.80]; P=0.075) and excellent (aOR, 1.32 [95% CI, 0.94-1.85]; P=0.098) outcomes, or mortality (aOR, 1.20 [95% CI, 0.78-1.85]; P=0.395) at 90 days. The multivariable regression model showed similar findings. Moreover, there was no difference between EVT and MM in rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in the multivariable regression model (aOR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.21-1.58]; P=0.277), but the inverse probability of treatment weighting model showed a lower likelihood of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aOR, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.24-0.85]; P=0.013) in the EVT group. CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter study failed to demonstrate any significant outcome differences among patients with isolated distal medium vessel occlusions treated with EVT versus MM. These findings reinforce clinical equipoise. Randomized clinical trials are ongoing and will provide more definite evidence.

BACKGROUND: Tandem lesions consist of cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis or occlusion, most commonly of atherosclerosis or dissection etiology, plus a large vessel occlusion. In this study, we compare outcomes in patients with atherosclerosis versus dissection of the cervical ICA. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study includes data from tandem lesion patients who underwent endovascular treatment from 2015 to 2020. Atherosclerosis was defined as ICA stenosis/occlusion associated with a calcified lesion and dissection by the presence of a tapered or flame-shaped lesion and intramural hematoma. Primary outcome: 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2); secondary outcomes: 90-day favorable shift in the modified Rankin Scale score, modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3, modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2c-3, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, parenchymal hematoma type 2, petechial hemorrhage, distal embolization, early neurological improvement, and mortality. Analysis was performed with matching by inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: We included 526 patients (68 [59-76] years; 31% females); 11.2% presented dissection and 88.8%, atherosclerosis. Patients with dissection were younger, had lower rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and smoking history. They also exhibited higher rates of ICA occlusion, multiple stents (>1), and lower rates of carotid self-expanding stents. After matching and adjusting for covariates, there were no differences in 90-day functional independence. The rate of successful recanalization was significantly lower in the dissection group (adjusted odds ratio, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.16-0.91]; P=0.031), which also had significantly higher rates of distal emboli (adjusted odds ratio, 2.53 [95% CI, 1.15-5.55]; P=0.021). There were no differences in other outcomes. Acute ICA stenting seemed to increase the effect of atherosclerosis in successful recanalization. CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that among patients with acute stroke with tandem lesions, cervical ICA dissection is associated with higher rates of distal embolism and lower rates of successful recanalization than atherosclerotic lesions. Using techniques to minimize the risk of distal embolism may mitigate this contrast. Further prospective randomized trials are warranted to fully understand these associations.

BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke with isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion (iPCAO) lacks management evidence from randomized trials. We aimed to evaluate whether the association between endovascular treatment (EVT) and outcomes in iPCAO acute ischemic stroke is modified by initial stroke severity (baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]) and arterial occlusion site. METHODS: Based on the multicenter, retrospective, case-control study of consecutive iPCAO acute ischemic stroke patients (PLATO study [Posterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion Stroke]), we assessed the heterogeneity of EVT outcomes compared with medical management (MM) for iPCAO, according to baseline NIHSS score (≤6 versus >6) and occlusion site (P1 versus P2), using multivariable regression modeling with interaction terms. The primary outcome was the favorable shift of 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Secondary outcomes included excellent outcome (mRS score 0-1), functional independence (mRS score 0-2), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality. RESULTS: From 1344 patients assessed for eligibility, 1059 were included (median age, 74 years; 43.7% women; 41.3% had intravenous thrombolysis): 364 receiving EVT and 695 receiving MM. Baseline stroke severity did not modify the association of EVT with 3-month mRS distribution (Pinteraction=0.312) but did with functional independence (Pinteraction=0.010), with a similar trend on excellent outcome (Pinteraction=0.069). EVT was associated with more favorable outcomes than MM in patients with baseline NIHSS score >6 (mRS score 0-1, 30.6% versus 17.7%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.01 [95% CI, 1.22-3.31]; mRS score 0 to 2, 46.1% versus 31.9%; aOR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.08-2.51]) but not in those with NIHSS score ≤6 (mRS score 0-1, 43.8% versus 46.3%; aOR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.49-1.64]; mRS score 0-2, 65.3% versus 74.3%; aOR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.30-1.0]). EVT was associated with more symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage regardless of baseline NIHSS score (Pinteraction=0.467), while the mortality increase was more pronounced in patients with NIHSS score ≤6 (Pinteraction=0.044; NIHSS score ≤6: aOR, 7.95 [95% CI, 3.11-20.28]; NIHSS score >6: aOR, 1.98 [95% CI, 1.08-3.65]). Arterial occlusion site did not modify the association of EVT with outcomes compared with MM. CONCLUSIONS: Baseline clinical stroke severity, rather than the occlusion site, may be an important modifier of the association between EVT and outcomes in iPCAO. Only severely affected patients with iPCAO (NIHSS score >6) had more favorable disability outcomes with EVT than MM, despite increased mortality and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: Studies comparing bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with direct endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke who present late are limited. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of bridging IVT in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent EVT 6 to 24 hours after time last known well. METHODS: We enrolled patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of ≥6 from 20 centers across 10 countries in the multicenter retrospective CLEAR study (CT for Late Endovascular Reperfusion) between January 2014 and May 2022. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting modeling adjusted for clinical and imaging confounders to compare functional outcomes, reperfusion success, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality between EVT patients with and without prior IVT. RESULTS: Of 5098 patients screened for eligibility, we included 2749 patients, of whom 549 received bridging IVT before EVT. The timing of IVT was not recorded. Witnessed stroke onset and transfer rates were higher in the bridging IVT group (25% versus 12% and 77% versus 55%, respectively, P value for both <0.0001), and time intervals between stroke onset and treatment were shorter (time last known well-start of EVT median 560 minutes [interquartile range, 432-791] versus 724 minutes [interquartile range, 544-912]; P<0.0001). After adjustment for confounders, there was no difference in functional outcome at 3 months (adjusted common odds ratio for modified Rankin Scale shift, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.89-1.19]; P=0.72) or successful reperfusion (adjusted odds ratio, 1.19 [95% CI, 0.81-1.75]; P=0.39). There were no safety concerns associated with bridging IVT versus direct EVT (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage: adjusted odds ratio, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.38-1.48]; P=0.40; mortality: adjusted odds ratio, 1.14 [95% CI, 0.89-1.46]; P=0.31). Results were unchanged when the analysis was limited to patients who received IVT >6 hours after last known well. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke who underwent EVT 6 to 24 hours from last known well, bridging IVT was not associated with a difference in outcomes compared with direct EVT.

BACKGROUND: The association between sex and outcome after endovascular thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and safety outcomes between men and women treated with endovascular thrombectomy in the late 6-to-24-hour window period. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy of anterior circulation stroke in the late window from 66 clinical sites in 10 countries from January 2014 to May 2022. The primary outcome was the 90-day ordinal modified Rankin Scale score. Secondary outcomes included 90-day functional independence (FI), return of Rankin (RoR) to prestroke baseline, FI or RoR, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality. Multivariable and inverse probability of treatment weighting methods were used. We explored the interaction of sex with baseline characteristics on the outcomes ordinal modified Rankin Scale and FI or RoR. RESULTS: Of 1932 patients, 1055 were women and 877 were men. Women were older (77 versus 69 years), had higher rates of atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and greater prestroke disability, but there was no difference in baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. Inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis showed no difference between women and men in ordinal modified Rankin Scale (odds ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.79-1.21]), FI or RoR (odds ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.78-1.22]), severe disability or mortality (odds ratio, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.80-1.23]). The multivariable analysis of the above end points was concordant. There were no interactions between baseline characteristics and sex on the outcomes of ordinal modified Rankin Scale and FI or RoR. CONCLUSIONS: In late presenting patients with anterior circulation stroke treated with endovascular thrombectomy in the 6 to 24-hour window, there was no difference in clinical or safety outcomes between men and women.

AIM: To evaluate the impact of nurse care changes in implementing a blood pressure management protocol on achieving rapid, intensive and sustained blood pressure reduction in acute intracerebral haemorrhage patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data over 6 years. METHODS: Intracerebral haemorrhage patients within 6 h and systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg followed a rapid (starting treatment at computed tomography suite with a target achievement goal of ≤60 min), intensive (target systolic blood pressure < 140 mmHg) and sustained (maintaining target stability for 24 h) blood pressure management plan. We differentiated six periods: P1, stroke nurse at computed tomography suite (baseline period); P2, antihypertensive titration by stroke nurse; P3, retraining by neurologists; P4, integration of a stroke advanced practice nurse; P5, after COVID-19 impact; and P6, retraining by stroke advanced practice nurse. Outcomes included first-hour target achievement (primary outcome), tomography-to-treatment and treatment-to-target times, first-hour maximum dose of antihypertensive treatment and 6-h and 24-h systolic blood pressure variability. RESULTS: Compared to P1, antihypertensive titration by stroke nurses (P2) reduced treatment-to-target time and increased the rate of first-hour target achievement, retraining of stroke nurses by neurologists (P3) maintained a higher rate of first-hour target achievement and the integration of a stroke advanced practice nurse (P4) reduced both 6-h and 24-h systolic blood pressure variability. However, 6-h systolic blood pressure variability increased from P4 to P5 following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, compared to P1, retraining of stroke nurses by stroke advanced practice nurse (P6) reduced tomography-to-treatment time and increased the first-hour maximum dose of antihypertensive treatment. CONCLUSION: Changes in nursing care and continuous education can significantly enhance the time metrics and blood pressure outcomes in acute intracerebral haemorrhage patients. REPORTING METHOD: STROBE guidelines. PATIENT AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution.

BACKGROUND: Long-term outcome assessment patients with stroke is not fully captured by usual clinical scales such as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are standardized and validated assessments that consider clinical outcomes from the patient perspective. We aim to analyze the added value of PROMs in patients with transient ischemic attack and minor stroke. METHODS: We included consecutive patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 0-5) from April 2020 to October 2021 that participated in the PROMs-through-App program (NORA, NoraHealth Barcelona Spain). Clinician and self-evaluated outcomes were assessed at 90 days: clinician-evaluated mRS, self-reported mRS, the 10-item patient-reported outcome measures questionnaire global health survey (v1.2), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Fatigue Assessment Scale. We evaluated the acceptability (response rate), reliability (internal consistency), and construct validity (correlation with mRS and between scales) of each questionnaire. RESULTS: We included 355 patients in the analysis, response rate was patient-reported outcome measures questionnaire 71.3% (253), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 70.7% (251), Fatigue Assessment Scale 71.8% (255), and self-assessed mRS 66.8% (237). PROMS internal consistency was good or excellent, while agreement between clinician and self-reported mRS was fair (k=0.34). Rate of abnormal PROMS scores were as follows (all responders versus clinician-reported mRS score 0-2): patient-reported outcome measures questionnaire mental health (43.1% versus 36.3%), physical health (48.6% versus 43.6%); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-anxiety (21.9% versus 17.7%) and depression (17.1% versus 13.3%); and Fatigue Assessment Scale (40.8% versus 36.4%). PROMs scores correlated with clinician and self-reported mRS at 90 days. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of PROMs using a mobile-app-based communication system is a reliable and valid strategy to assess the outcome of patients from their perspective after a mild stroke or transient ischemic attack.

BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke with large or medium-vessel occlusion associated with intracranial artery calcification (IAC) is an infrequent phenomenon presumably associated with intracranial atherosclerotic disease. We aimed to characterize IAC and its impact on endovascular treatment outcomes. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of consecutive patients with stroke treated with thrombectomy from January 2020 to July 2021 in our institution. We described IAC findings (length, density, and location pattern) on baseline noncontrast computed tomography. Patients were divided into 3 groups: IAC related to the occlusion location (symptomatic-IAC group), unrelated to the occlusion (asymptomatic-IAC group), and absence of any IAC (non-IAC group). We analyzed the association between the IAC profile and outcomes using logistic regression models. Intracranial angioplasty and stenting were considered rescue treatments. RESULTS: Of the 393 patients included, 26 (6.6%) patients presented a symptomatic-IAC, 77 (19.6%) patients an asymptomatic-IAC, and in 290 (73.8%) patients no IAC was observed. The rate of failed recanalization (expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 0-2a) before rescue treatment was higher in symptomatic-IAC (65.4%) than in asymptomatic-IAC (15.6%; P<0.001) or non-IAC (13.4%; P<0.001). Rescue procedures were more frequently performed in symptomatic-IAC (26.9%) than in asymptomatic-IAC (1.3%; P<0.001) and non-IAC (4.1%; P<0.001). After adjusting for identifiable clinical and radiological confounders, symptomatic-IAC emerged as an independent predictor of failed recanalization (odds ratio, 11.89 [95% CI, 3.94-35.91]; P<0.001), adoption of rescue procedures (odds ratio, 12.38 [95% CI, 2.22-69.09]; P=0.004), and poor functional outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale score ≥3; odds ratio, 3.51 [95% CI, 1.02-12.00]; P=0.046). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of IAC related to the occlusion location is associated with worse angiographic and functional outcomes. Therefore, identification of symptomatic-IAC on baseline imaging may guide optimal endovascular treatment strategy, predicting the need for intracranial stenting and angioplasty.

BACKGROUND: The optimal management of patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion is uncertain. We compared clinical outcomes for endovascular therapy (EVT) versus medical management (MM) in patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion. METHODS: This multinational case-control study conducted at 27 sites in Europe and North America included consecutive patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion presenting within 24 hours of time last well from January 2015 to August 2022. Patients treated with EVT or MM were compared with multivariable logistic regression and inverse probability of treatment weighting. The coprimary outcomes were the 90-day modified Rankin Scale ordinal shift and ≥2-point decrease in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. RESULTS: Of 1023 patients, 589 (57.6%) were male with median (interquartile range) age of 74 (64-82) years. The median (interquartile range) National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 6 (3-10). The occlusion segments were P1 (41.2%), P2 (49.2%), and P3 (7.1%). Overall, intravenous thrombolysis was administered in 43% and EVT in 37%. There was no difference between the EVT and MM groups in the 90-day modified Rankin Scale shift (aOR, 1.13 [95% CI, 0.85-1.50]; P=0.41). There were higher odds of a decrease in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale by ≥2 points with EVT (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.35-2.52]; P=0.0001). Compared with MM, EVT was associated with a higher likelihood of excellent outcome (aOR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.07-2.09]; P=0.018), complete vision recovery, and similar rates of functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2), despite a higher rate of SICH and mortality (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, 6.2% versus 1.7%; P=0.0001; mortality, 10.1% versus 5.0%; P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion, EVT was associated with similar odds of disability by ordinal modified Rankin Scale, higher odds of early National Institutes of Health stroke scale improvement, and complete vision recovery compared with MM. There was a higher likelihood of excellent outcome in the EVT group despite a higher rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality. Continued enrollment into ongoing distal vessel occlusion randomized trials is warranted.

INTRODUCTION: Current recommendations for regional stroke destination suggest that patients with severe acute stroke in non-urban areas should be triaged based on the estimated transport time to a referral thrombectomy-capable center. METHODS: We performed a post hoc analysis to evaluate the association of pre-hospital workflow times with neurological outcomes in patients included in the RACECAT trial. Workflow times evaluated were known or could be estimated before transport allocation. Primary outcome was the shift analysis on the modified Rankin score at 90 days. RESULTS: Among the 1,369 patients included, the median time from onset to emergency medical service (EMS) evaluation, the estimated transport time to a thrombectomy-capable center and local stroke center, and the estimated transfer time between centers were 65 minutes (interquartile ratio [IQR] = 43-138), 61 minutes (IQR = 36-80), 17 minutes (IQR = 9-27), and 62 minutes (IQR = 36-73), respectively. Longer time intervals from stroke onset to EMS evaluation were associated with higher odds of disability at 90 days in the local stroke center group (adjusted common odds ratio (acOR) for each 30-minute increment = 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.06), with no association in the thrombectomy-capable center group (acOR for each 30-minute increment = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.98-1.01, pinteraction = 0.021). No significant interaction was found for other pre-hospital workflow times. In patients evaluated by EMS later than 120 minutes after stroke onset, direct transport to a thrombectomy-capable center was associated with better disability outcomes (acOR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.03-2.17). CONCLUSION: We found a significant heterogeneity in the association between initial transport destination and neurological outcomes according to the elapse of time between the stroke onset and the EMS evaluation (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02795962).

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to evaluate functional and safety outcomes for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) versus medical management (MM) in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and mild neurological deficits, stratified by perfusion imaging mismatch. METHODS: The pooled cohort consisted of patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) < 6 and internal carotid artery (ICA), M1, or M2 occlusions from the Extending the Time for Thrombolysis in Emergecy Neurological Deficits - Intra-Arterial (EXTEND-IA) Trial, Tenecteplase vs Alteplase before Endovascular Thrombectomy in Ischemic Stroke (EXTEND-IA TNK) trials Part I/II and prospective data from 15 EVT centers from October 2010 to April 2020. RAPID software estimated ischemic core and mismatch. Patients receiving primary EVT (EVTpri ) were compared to those who received primary MM (MMpri ), including those who deteriorated and received rescue EVT, in overall and propensity score (PS)-matched cohorts. Patients were stratified by target mismatch (mismatch ratio ≥ 1.8 and mismatch volume ≥ 15ml). Primary outcome was functional independence (90-day modified Rankin Scale = 0-2). Secondary outcomes included safety (symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage [sICH], neurological worsening, and mortality). RESULTS: Of 540 patients, 286 (53%) received EVTpri and demonstrated larger critically hypoperfused tissue (Tmax > 6 seconds) volumes (median [IQR]: 64 [26-96] ml vs MMpri : 40 [14-76] ml, p < 0.001) and higher presentation NIHSS (median [IQR]: 4 [2-5] vs MMpri : 3 [2-4], p < 0.001). Functional independence was similar (EVTpri : 77.4% vs MMpri : 75.6%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.82-2.03, p = 0.27). EVT had worse safety regarding sICH (EVTpri : 16.3% vs MMpri : 1.3%, p < 0.001) and neurological worsening (EVTpri : 19.6% vs MMpri : 6.7%, p < 0.001). In 414 subjects (76.7%) with target mismatch, EVT was associated with improved functional independence (EVTpri : 77.4% vs MMpri : 72.7%, aOR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.01-2.81, p = 0.048), whereas there was a trend toward less favorable outcomes with primary EVT (EVTpri : 77.4% vs MMpri : 83.3%, aOR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.12-1.34, p = 0.13) without target mismatch (pinteraction = 0.06). Similar findings were observed in a propensity score-matched subpopulation. INTERPRETATION: Overall, EVT was not associated with improved clinical outcomes in mild strokes due to LVO, and sICH was increased. However, in patients with target mismatch profile, EVT was associated with increased functional independence. Perfusion imaging may be helpful to select mild stroke patients for EVT.

OBJECTIVES: To derivate and validate three scores for the prediction of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion depending on the use of non-contrast CT (NCCT), single-phase CTA, or multiphase CTA markers of hematoma expansion, and to evaluate the added value of single-phase and multiphase CTA over NCCT. METHODS: After prospectively deriving NCCT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA hematoma expansion scores in 156 patients with ICH < 6 h, we validated them in 120 different patients. Discrimination and calibration of the three scores was assessed. Primary outcome was substantial hematoma expansion > 6 mL or > 33% at 24 h. RESULTS: The evaluation of single-phase and multiphase CTA markers gave a steadily increase in discrimination for substantial hematoma expansion over NCCT markers. The C-index (95% confidence interval) in derivation and validation cohorts was 0.69 (0.58-0.80) and 0.59 (0.46-0.72) for NCCT score, significantly lower than 0.75 ([0.64-0.87], p = 0.038) and 0.72 ([0.59-0.84], p = 0.016) for single-phase CTA score, and than 0.79 ([0.68-0.89], p = 0.033) and 0.73 ([0.62-0.85], p = 0.031) for multiphase CTA score, respectively. The three scores showed good calibration in both derivation and validation cohorts: NCCT (χ2 statistic 0.389, p = 0.533; and χ2 statistic 0.352, p = 0.553), single-phase CTA (χ2 statistic 2.052, p = 0.359; and χ2 statistic 2.230, p = 0.328), and multiphase CTA (χ2 statistic 0.559, p = 0.455; and χ2 statistic 0.020, p = 0.887) scores, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study shows the added prognostic value of more advanced CT modalities in acute ICH evaluation. NCCT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA scores may help to refine the selection of patients at risk of expansion in different decision-making scenarios. KEY POINTS: ⢠This study shows the added prognostic value of more advanced CT modalities in acute intracerebral hemorrhage evaluation. ⢠The evaluation of single-phase and multiphase CTA markers provides a steadily increase in discrimination for intracerebral hemorrhage expansion over non-contrast CT markers. ⢠Non-contrast CT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA scores may help clinicians and researchers to refine the selection of patients at risk of intracerebral hemorrhage expansion in different decision-making scenarios.

INTRODUCTION: Endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) between 6 and 24 h is established as a standard of care among patients selected by multiparametric neuroimaging. We aimed to explore neuroimaging parameters in late-window large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients and its association with non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) findings. METHODS: We included consecutive AIS patients within 6-24 h from the symptoms onset with LVO. We described multiparametric imaging findings, the rate of patients who fulfilled imaging perfusion criteria according to the DAWN and DEFUSE-3 trials that define the computed tomography perfusion mismatch (CTP-MM) group and its association with NCCT focused on Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS). We also analyzed the association between neuroimaging parameters and the clinical outcome determined by the 90-day modified Rankin scale (mRS). RESULTS: We included 206 patients, of them, 176 (85.4%) presented CTP-MM and 184 (89.3%) presented an ASPECTS ≥6 on admission. The rate of CTP-MM was 90.8% in patients with ASPECTS ≥6, compared with 40.9% in those with low ASPECTS. ASPECTS was moderately correlated with ischemic core determined by cerebral blood flow <30% volume (rS = -0.557, p < 0.001). In EVT-treated patients (185, 89.8%), after adjusting for identifiable confounders, the presence of CTP-MM was a predictor of 90-day functional independence (OR: 3.38; 95% CI: 1.01-11.29; p = 0.048). We did not find an association between CTP-MM and 90-day functional disability (ordinal mRS shift, aOR: 1.39; 95% CI: 0.58-3.34; p = 0.459). CONCLUSIONS: A great majority of patients who presented a LVO in the late window fulfilled guidelines imaging criteria to undergo EVT, especially those with high ASPECTS (≥6). Our data suggest that NCCT with CT angiography could be a reasonable approach for AIS treatment selection also in the late window.

BACKGROUND: We aim to compare the outcome of patients from urban areas, where the referral center is able to perform thrombectomy, with patients from nonurban areas enrolled in the RACECAT trial (Direct Transfer to an Endovascular Center Compared to Transfer to the Closest Stroke Center in Acute Stroke Patients With Suspected Large Vessel Occlusion). METHODS: Patients with suspected large vessel occlusion stroke, as evaluated by a Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation score of ≥5, from urban catchment areas of thrombectomy-capable centers during RACECAT trial enrollment period were included in the Stroke Code Registry of Catalonia. Primary outcome was disability at 90 days, as assessed by the shift analysis on the modified Rankin Scale score, in patients with an ischemic stroke. Secondary outcomes included mortality at 90 days, rate of thrombolysis and thrombectomy, time from onset to thrombolysis, and thrombectomy initiation. Propensity score matching was used to assemble a cohort of patients with similar characteristics. RESULTS: The analysis included 1369 patients from nonurban areas and 2502 patients from urban areas. We matched 920 patients with an ischemic stroke from urban areas and nonurban areas based on their propensity scores. Patients with ischemic stroke from nonurban areas had higher degrees of disability at 90 days (median [interquartle range] modified Rankin Scale score, 3 [2-5] versus 3 [1-5], common odds ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.06-1.48]); the observed average effect was only significant in patients with large vessel stroke (common odds ratio, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.08-1.65]). Mortality rate was similar between groups(odds ratio, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.81-1.28]). Patients from nonurban areas had higher odds of receiving thrombolysis (odds ratio, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.16-1.67]), lower odds of receiving thrombectomy(odds ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.51-0.75]), and longer time from stroke onset to thrombolysis (mean difference 38 minutes [95% CI, 25-52]) and thrombectomy(mean difference 66 minutes [95% CI, 37-95]). CONCLUSIONS: In Catalonia, Spain, patients with large vessel occlusion stroke triaged in nonurban areas had worse neurological outcomes than patients from urban areas, where the referral center was able to perform thrombectomy. Interventions aimed at improving organizational practices and the development of thrombectomy capabilities in centers located in remote areas should be pursued. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.

BACKGROUND: Reperfusion without functional independence (RFI) is an undesired outcome following thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. The primary objective was to evaluate, in patients presenting with proximal anterior circulation occlusion stroke in the extended time window, whether selection with computed tomography (CT) perfusion or magnetic resonance imaging is associated with RFI, mortality, or symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) compared with noncontrast CT selected patients. METHODS: The CLEAR study (CT for Late Endovascular Reperfusion) was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy in the extended time window. Inclusion criteria for this analysis were baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≥6, internal carotid artery, M1 or M2 segment occlusion, prestroke modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2, time-last-seen-well to treatment 6 to 24 hours, and successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2c-3). RESULTS: Of 2304 patients in the CLEAR study, 715 patients met inclusion criteria. Of these, 364 patients (50.9%) showed RFI (ie, mRS score of 3-6 at 90 days despite successful reperfusion), 37 patients (5.2%) suffered sICH, and 127 patients (17.8%) died within 90 days. Neither imaging selection modality for thrombectomy candidacy (noncontrast CT versus CT perfusion versus magnetic resonance imaging) was associated with RFI, sICH, or mortality. Older age, higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, higher prestroke disability, transfer to a comprehensive stroke center, and a longer interval to puncture were associated with RFI. The presence of M2 occlusion and higher baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score were inversely associated with RFI. Hypertension was associated with sICH. CONCLUSIONS: RFI is a frequent phenomenon in the extended time window. Neither magnetic resonance imaging nor CT perfusion selection for mechanical thrombectomy was associated with RFI, sICH, and mortality compared to noncontrast CT selection alone.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular therapy (EVT) is increasingly reported for treatment of isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions although its clinical benefit remains uncertain. This study-level meta-analysis investigated the functional outcomes and safety of EVT and best medical management (BMM) compared to BMM alone for treatment of PCA occlusion stroke. METHODS: We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Embase for studies in patients with isolated PCA occlusion stroke treated with EVT + BMM or BMM including intravenous thrombolysis. There were no randomized trials and all studies were retrospective. The primary outcome was modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 3 months, while safety outcomes included mortality rate and incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). RESULTS: Twelve studies with a total of 679 patients were included in the meta-analysis: 338 patients with EVT + BMM and 341 patients receiving BMM alone. Good functional outcome at 3 months was achieved in 58.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.83-70.95) of patients receiving EVT + BMM and 48.1% (95% CI 40.35-55.92) of patients who received BMM alone, with respective mortality rates of 12.6% (95% CI 7.30-20.93) and 12.3% (95% CI 8.64-17.33). sICH occurred in 4.2% (95% CI 2.47-7.03) of patients treated with EVT + BMM and 3.2% (95% CI 1.75-5.92) of patients treated with BMM alone. Comparative analyses were performed on studies that included both treatments and these demonstrated no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that EVT represents a safe treatment for patients with isolated PCA occlusion stroke. There were no differences in clinical or safety outcomes between treatments, supporting randomization of future patients into distal vessel occlusion trials.

Background and Purpose: Different studies have pointed that CT perfusion (CTP) could overestimate ischemic core in early time window. We aim to evaluate the influence of time and collateral status on ischemic core overestimation. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including patients with anterior circulation large-vessel stroke that achieved reperfusion after endovascular treatment. Ischemic core and collateral status were automatically estimated on baseline CTP using commercially available software. CTP-derived core was considered as tissue with a relative reduction of cerebral blood flow <30%, as compared with contralateral hemisphere. Collateral status was assessed using the hypoperfusion intensity ratio (defined by the proportion of the time to maximum of tissue residue function >6 seconds with time to maximum of tissue residue function >10 seconds). Final infarct volume was measured on 24 to 48 hours noncontrast CT. Ischemic core overestimation was considered when CTP-derived core was larger than final infarct. Results: Four hundred and seven patients were included in the analysis. Median CTP-derived core and final infarct volume were 7 mL (interquartile range, 027) and 20 mL (interquartile range, 555), respectively. Median hypoperfusion intensity ratio was 0.46 (interquartile range, 0.230.59). Eighty-three patients (20%) presented ischemic core overestimation (median overestimation, 12 mL [interquartile range, 415]). Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted by CTP-derived core and confounding variables showed that poor collateral status (per 0.1 hypoperfusion intensity ratio increase; adjusted odds ratio, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.201.65]) and earlier onset to imaging time (per 60 minutes earlier; adjusted odds ratio, 1.14 [CI, 1.041.25]) were independently associated with core overestimation. No significant association was found with imaging to reperfusion time (per 30 minutes earlier; adjusted odds ratio, 1.17 [CI, 0.961.44]). Poor collateral status influence on core overestimation differed according to onset to imaging time, with a stronger size of effect on early imaging patients(Pinteraction <0.01). Conclusions: In patients with large-vessel stroke that achieve reperfusion after endovascular therapy, poor collateral status might induce higher rates of ischemic core overestimation on CTP, especially in patients in earlier window time. CTP reflects a hemodynamic state rather than tissue fate; collateral status and onset to imaging time are important factors to consider when estimating core on CTP.
