Comprehensive versus thrombectomy-capable stroke centers: a web-based model to predict outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The quality and clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) performed at thrombectomy-capable stroke centers (TSCs) versus comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs) remain insufficiently characterized.

Objective

To compare MT outcomes between TSCs and CSCs and to develop and externally validate an online tool for individualized prognosis and decision support.

Design

Retrospective cohort study including derivation and external validation cohorts from multiple stroke centers.

Method

Patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent MT within 24 h were analyzed. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and multivariable logistic regression estimated the effects of stroke center certification. Sensitivity analyses using alt
