Home and workforce reintegration one year after thrombectomy in acute stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) combined with intravenous thrombolysis is the current standard treatment for acute large-vessel occlusion stroke. Beyond clear clinical benefits in the acute and post-acute phases, comprehensive evaluations of long-term outcomes, including home and workforce reintegration, remain limited.

Patients and methods

We conducted a prospective observational study of 404 patients undergoing EVT at a tertiary university medical center between October 2019 and December 2021. Patients' functional outcomes were evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS),
