Pre-procedural vitamin D deficiency and poor prognosis post-thrombectomy in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with poor prognosis of stroke. However, its role after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between pre-procedural vitamin D levels and the clinical prognosis of AIS patients after MT.

Methods

A total of 113 AIS patients with successful MT were enrolled in this study and their clinical data were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their 3-month modified Rankin Scale scores (mRS: 0-2 vs. 3-6). Predictors of adverse prognosis were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. In order to evaluate nonlinear associations and mortality risk, restricted cubic spline (RCS) models, receiver operating characteristic (ROC
