Trends in utilization and outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral venous thrombosis: A National Inpatient Sample study.

ABSTRACT: Background and purposeCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is usually treated with systemic anticoagulation, but mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and local infusion of a thrombolytic agent have been proposed as an alternative therapy. In this study, we analyze National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to determine the trends of MT including discharge other than home (DOTH) and mortality.Material and methodsHealthcare Utilization Program-NIS (HCUP-NIS) was queried between 2005 and 2018 for CVT and MT. Cochran-Armitage test was conducted to assess linear trend of proportion of utilization and DOTH of MT. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to assess odds of undergoing MT among CVT admissions, odds of in-hospital mortality, and DOTH for all admissions involving MT for CVT.ResultsA total of 1331 (1.
