Predicting poor functional outcomes for patients with large computed tomography perfusion core infarctions treated with endovascular thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Stroke patients with large core infarctions benefit from endovascular intervention, though only approximately 20% are functionally independent at 90 days. We studied prognostic factors for patients presenting with a large computed tomography perfusion (CTP) core.

Methods

Retrospective analysis from a health system stroke registry, including consecutive thrombectomy patients treated within 24 hours from August 2020-December 2022 with an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and CTP core infarct ≥50 milliliters. Logistic regression was used to determine independent predictors of 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 4-6. The prognostic ability of previously reported scales was also assessed.

Results

In 118 included patients, with mean age 64.3 ± 14.1
