Comparison of endovascular therapy care and outcome in primary and comprehensive stroke centers for acute ischemic stroke in China a real-world nationwide registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a standard therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, the performance of EVT in primary stroke centers (PSCs) in China remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the performance of EVT in PSCs and compare it with that in comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs).

Methods

We conducted a prospective registry of EVT at 11 CSCs and 26 PSCs in China. AIS patients with intracranial LVO who received EVT were divided into two groups based on the type of stroke center. We compared the AIS workflow, EVT procedural details, radiological, and clinical outcomes between the two groups.

Results

From November 2021 to December 2022, 1,196 patients were enrolled, and 847 were included in t
