Mortality and Disability According to Baseline Blood Pressure in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated by Thrombectomy: A Collaborative Pooled Analysis.

ABSTRACT: High blood pressure (BP) is associated with worse clinical outcomes in the setting of acute ischemic stroke, but the optimal blood pressure target is still a matter of debate. We aimed to study the association between baseline BP and mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients treated by mechanical thrombectomy. A total of 1332 acute ischemic stroke patients treated by mechanical thrombectomy were enrolled (from January 2012 to June 2016) in the ETIS (Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke) registry. Linear and polynomial logistic regression models were used to assess the association between BP and mortality and functional outcome at 90 days. Highest mortality was found at lower and higher baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) values following a J- or U-shaped relationship, with a nadi
