Timing of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular stroke treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Little is known about the timing of occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. A better understanding could optimize in-hospital surveillance time points and duration. The aim of this study was to delineate the probability of sICH over time and to identify factors associated with its timing.

Patients and methods

We retrospectively analyzed data from the Dutch MR CLEAN trial and MR CLEAN Registry. We included adult patients who underwent EVT for an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion within 6.5 h of stroke onset. In patients with sICH (defined as ICH causing an increase of ⩾4 points on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]), univariable and multivariable linear regr
