Prognostic value of susceptibility-weighted imaging of prominent veins in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prominent veins sign (PVS) on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has been suggested to be related to the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association between PVS and the prognosis of patients with AIS.

Methods

This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO (no. CRD42022343795). We performed systematic research in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for studies investigating the prognostic value of PVS. Based on the enrolled studies, patients were divided into two groups as follows: those with PVS cohort and those without PVS cohort. Outcomes were unfavorable functional outcome, early neurological deterioration (END), and hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The random-effect
