Comparison between in-hospital stroke and community-onset stroke treated with endovascular thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In-hospital stroke (IHS) is an uncommon but serious medical emergency. Early recanalization through endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may offer a vital therapeutic choice. This study compared the clinical features and outcomes between IHS and community-onset stroke (COS).

Methods

From a single-center registry of 2813 patients with ischemic stroke, those who had received EVT for acute ischemic stroke were included and classified into the IHS and COS groups based on their stroke onset scenario. We compared the outcomes including successful recanalization, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2) at 90 days, and mortality between the two groups.

Results

A total of 24 patients with IHS (mean age, 70 years; 54%
