Baseline clinical and neuroradiological predictors of outcome in patients with large ischemic core undergoing mechanical thrombectomy: a retrospective multicenter study.
International Journal of Stroke : Official Journal of the International Stroke Society 2024 March 29
BACKGROUND: Recent randomized trials have shown the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) also in patients with an established large ischemic core.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to define baseline predictors of clinical outcome in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the anterior circulation and an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) ≤ 5, undergoing MT.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The databases of 16 comprehensive stroke centers were retrospectively screened for patients with LVO and ASPECTS ≤ 5 that received MT. Baseline clinical and neuroradiological features, including the differential contribution of all ASPECTS regions to the composite score, were collected. Primary clinical outcome measure was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2. Statistical analysis used a logistic regression model and random forest algorithm.
RESULTS: 408 patients were available for analysis. In multivariate model, among baseline features, lower age (OR 0.962, 95% CI 0.943-0.982) and lower National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (OR 0.911, 95% CI 0.862-0.963) were associated with the mRS score 0-2. Involvement of the M2 (OR 0.398, 95% CI 0.206-0.770) or M4 (OR 0.496, 95% CI 0.260-0.945) ASPECTS regions was associated with an unfavorable outcome. Random forest analysis confirmed that age and baseline NIHSS score are the most important variables influencing clinical outcome, whereas involvement of cortical regions M5, M4, M2 and M1 can have a negative impact.
CONCLUSION: Our retrospective analysis shows that, along with age and baseline clinical impairment, presence of early ischemic changes involving cortical areas has a role in clinical outcome in patients with large ischemic core undergoing MT.
