Association of the 24-Hour National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale After Mechanical Thrombectomy With Early and Long-Term Survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) obtained 24 hours after ischemic stroke is a good indicator for functional outcome and early mortality, but the correlation with long-term survival is less clear. We analyzed the correlation of the NIHSS after 24 hours (24h NIHSS) and early clinical neurological development after mechanical thrombectomy with early and long-term survival as well as its predictive power on survival.

Methods

We reviewed a prospective observational registry for all patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy between January 2010 and December 2018. Vital status was extracted from the Swiss Population Registry. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and crude hazard ratios were calculated using Cox regression. To assess predictive power of the
