Prognostic value of contrast staining on dual-energy CT after endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Contrast staining (CS) on dual-energy CT (DECT) is common after endovascular therapy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic significance of CS detected by DECT after EVT in AIS.

Method

MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched from inception to July 2023 for publications on the prognostic significance of CS on DECT after EVT in patients with AIS. Prognostic outcomes were hemorrhage transformation (HT) and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] Score of 3-6 at the 90-day follow-up). Data are presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results

Eleven studies including 1123 cases of AIS were inclu
