Prediction of delayed reperfusion in patients with incomplete reperfusion following thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical course of patients with incomplete reperfusion after thrombectomy, defined as an expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) score of 2a-2c, is heterogeneous. Patients showing delayed reperfusion (DR) have good clinical outcomes, almost comparable to patients with ad-hoc TICI3 reperfusion. We aimed to develop and internally validate a model that predicts DR occurrence in order to inform physicians about the likelihood of a benign natural disease progression.

Patients and methods

Single-center registry analysis including all consecutive, study-eligible patients admitted between 02/2015 and 12/2021. Preliminary variable selection for the prediction of DR was performed using bootstrapped stepwise backward logistic regression. Interval validation
