Blood pressure reduction and outcome after endovascular therapy: a secondary analysis of the BEST study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the acute phase after endovascular therapy (EVT) is associated with worse outcome. However, the association between systolic blood pressure reduction (SBPr) and the outcome of EVT is not well understood.

Objective

To determine the association between SBPr and clinical outcomes after EVT in a prospective multicenter cohort.

Methods

A post hoc analysis of the Blood Pressure after Endovascular Stroke Therapy (BEST) prospective observational cohort study was carried out. SBPr was defined as the absolute difference between admission SBP and mean SBP in the first 24 hours after EVT. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between SBPr and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 3-6) at 90 days.
