Prognostic significance of early systolic blood pressure variability after endovascular thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the effect of early systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of early SBPV after EVT and IVT on outcome in AIS.

Materials and methods

We searched for articles published before February 2020 in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Medline, and Google Scholar. The pooled multivariate odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using STATA 13.0 software.

Results

Increased early SBPV after EVT was significantly associated with worse functiona
