Sex-Related Differences in Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment in Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke-Analyses From the German Stroke Registry-Endovascular Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sex-related differences in acute ischemic stroke may affect outcomes, yet evidence remains inconsistent. This large-scale study investigated sex-related differences in clinical presentation, peri-interventional parameters, and outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) using data from the German Stroke Registry-Endovascular Treatment (GSR-ET).

Methods

We analyzed 11.896 EVT patients (52.2% female) from the GSR-ET (June 2015-December 2021) comparing clinical characteristics, treatment details, and outcomes by sex. Two propensity score matchings (PSM) were applied: (1) logistic regression model with a caliper width of 0.1 on age, pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (pmRS), and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at admission,
