Association of insulin resistance indices with outcomes after endovascular treatment in acute basilar artery occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) represents an uncommon but highly devastating form of ischemic stroke, frequently resulting in severe disability or death, despite advances in endovascular treatment (EVT). Although insulin resistance (IR) has been connected to poorer neurological outcomes after stroke, evidence regarding the predictive usefulness of non-insulin-based IR indices in BAO patients receiving EVT is still limited.

Methods

In this study, 266 BAO patients who received EVT between 2012 and 2024 were analyzed. Three IR indices were calculated at admission: the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), and the ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C). The primary endpoint inclu
