Low neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios predict favorable outcomes after endovascular treatment in acute basilar artery occlusion: subgroup analysis of the BASILAR registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, the BAOCHE trial and ATTENTION trial registry have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO), however, the proportion of patients with favorable post-EVT outcomes remains low. The present study aimed to investigate the individual and joint prognostic values of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with acute BAO who have undergone EVT.

Methods

We enrolled patients who underwent EVT from the BASILAR registry. Patients were divided into the following groups based on their modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days: favorable-outcome (mRS score: 0-3) and poor-outcome (mRS score: 4-6) groups. Multivariable logistic regression was per
