Determinants of Leptomeningeal Collateral Status in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leptomeningeal collateral status is a major determinant of outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke; however, the factors that determine collateral status are not well understood. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to identify determinants associated with collateral status in patients with anterior circulation infarction.

Methods and results

The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for studies that reported the determinants of leptomeningeal collateral status in acute ischemic stroke between January 2000 and June 2023. A random-effects meta-analysis model was used to pool the determinants of leptomeningeal collateral status. Eighty-one studies with 17 366 pat
