Common Data Elements Reported in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review of Active Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New trials are planned regularly to provide the highest quality of evidence and invade new occlusion territories, which requires a pre-defined reporting strategy with consistent, common data elements for more straightforward collective evidence synthesis. We sought to review all active endovascular thrombectomy trials to investigate their patient selection criteria, intervention description, and reported outcomes.

Methods

A literature search was systematically conducted on clinicaltrials.gov for active trials and all intervention, inclusion criteria, and outcomes reported were extracted. A qualitative synthesis of the frequency of study design types and data elements are graphically and narratively presented.

Results

A total of 32 studies were tagged and in
