Impact of Sex on Thrombectomy Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke: A Propensity Score-Matched Study, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women are underrepresented in stroke thrombectomy trials, and the impact of sex differences in outcomes after stroke thrombectomy is unclear. We performed a multicenter propensity matching study to define sex-related differences in outcome after endovascular thrombectomy and integrated results in a meta-analysis.

Methods

We included patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion consecutively treated with thrombectomy at 2 Comprehensive Stroke Centres (2016-2023). Selection criteria reflected international guidelines. Through systematic review we selected all studies reporting endovascular thrombectomy outcomes in anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke, applying propensity score matching. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched u
