Use of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging-Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (DWI-ASPECTS) and Ischemic Core Volume to Determine the Malignant Profile in Acute Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Background Malignant profiles were identified by imaging profiles and unfavorable outcomes that have poor response to reperfusion therapy. Many trials have used this profile in their inclusion criteria including large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke trials. We aimed to redefine the cutoff values for malignant profile in acute ischemic stroke patients with large-vessel occlusion regardless of reperfusion therapy. Methods and Results Consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with anterior large-vessel occlusion were prospectively extracted from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center Stroke Registry between March 2014 and December 2017.
