Evaluation of Functional Recovery Following Thrombectomy in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion and Prestroke Disability.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

It is uncertain whether thrombectomy is associated with benefits in patients with prestroke disability.

Objective

To evaluate the use of thrombectomy for patients with large vessel occlusion and prestroke disability.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study included patients with large vessel occlusion stroke and prestroke disability (modified Rankin Scale score, 3 or 4) admitted to a single tertiary care center between January 1, 2006, and June 30, 2019 (controls: 2006-2015; thrombectomy: 2015-2019). Follow-up was conducted at 90 days. Data analysis was performed from November 1 to December 31, 2021.

Exposures

Use of thrombectomy vs no thrombectomy.

Main outcomes and measures

The primary outcome was functional recovery at 90 days d
