Impact of D-dimer on the outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There has been growing data about the association between D-dimer levels and thrombectomy outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients (AIS) with no cumulative evidence. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to discuss and analyze the findings of the current studies to provide more robust evidence in this regard.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus to retrieve all relevant investigations. A meta-analysis was conducted, and the results were presented in odds ratio (ORs) for binary variables and ratio of means (ROM) for continuous variables, each accompanied by its respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
