Increased serum uric acid level is associated with better outcome after endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke-a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of serum uric acid (SUA) in affecting outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with ischemic stroke remains unclear. This study investigated the association of SUA with outcomes of patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) who had received EVT.

Methods

Patients with acute LVO stroke who underwent EVT within 24 hours were enrolled from a prospective, nationwide registry study. Baseline characteristics and SUA level within 24 hours of EVT were collected. The primary outcome was an excellent 90-day functional outcome [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-1]. Secondary outcomes included a favorable 90-day outcome (mRS score 0-2), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and 90-day mortality. The SUA level was analyzed in quartiles and
