Mortality within three months after nonfatal ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy in routine care-data from the German Stroke Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a highly effective treatment for large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke. However, a substantial share of patients have lethal outcome within 3 months. Individualization of outcome prognostication is needed to support clinical decision-making throughout the care pathway after MT. We investigate predictors of lethal outcome in patients with nonfatal LVO, defined by discharge alive from primary treating hospital, in a large prospective registry study of MT under routine care conditions.

Methods

6,518 patients with nonfatal LVO treated by MT enrolled in the German Stroke Registry-Endovascular Treatment from May 2015-December 2021 were analysed with regard to lethal outcome by 3 month follow-up. Univariate group comparisons and mul
