Functional outcomes of ischemic stroke patients aged over 80 years treated with acute revascularization therapy according to pre-morbid disability: a PARADISE study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Aging population leads to changes in the profile of patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS), and older adults were largely excluded from randomized clinical trials of acute revascularization therapy. This study aimed to assess functional outcomes of treated IS patients > 80 years old according to prior disability and identify associated factors.

Methods

Consecutively older patients with acute IS treated with either IV thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombectomy were enrolled between 2016 and 2019. Pre-morbid disability was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, and patients were classified as being independent (mRS score, 0-2) or having pre-existing disability (mRS score, 3-5). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess
