Diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography perfusion in the prediction of haemorrhagic transformation and patient outcome in acute ischaemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography brain perfusion in the prediction of haemorrhagic transformation and patient outcome in acute ischaemic stroke.

Method

Electronic databases and grey literature published over the last 10 years related to healthcare and radiology were searched using the key terms: 'computed tomography perfusion', 'haemorrhagic transformation', 'acute ischaemic stroke', 'functional outcome' and their synonyms using both UK and American spellings. Inclusion criteria were: sample size at least 30 patients, original research, evaluate ability of computed tomography perfusion to predict haemorrhagic transformation, reports diagnostic accuracy or provide relevant data for a 2 ×
