A Simple and Pragmatic Equation for Rapid Outcome Prediction in Endovascular Thrombectomy With Limited Information.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To rapidly predict outcomes of candidate for endovascular thrombectomy in time-sensitive situations with limited clinical information, we propose a simple but balanced approach, integrating National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS).

Methods

This study utilized data from 2 independent registries to investigate the associations of NIHSS scores and ASPECTS with clinical outcomes of patients with stroke with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who underwent endovascular thrombectomy and to evaluate the accuracy of a novel clinical-imaging equation in predicting these outcomes. The primary outcome was functional independence.

Results

A total of 2128 patients were included. Of these, 1052
