Association of baseline core volume and early midline shift in acute stroke patients with a large ischaemic core.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Midline shift (MLS) is troublesome problem that may occur in patients with a large infarct core (LIC) and may be related to the baseline infarct core volume. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between baseline infarct core volume and early MLS presence.

Materials and methods

Patients with acute intracranial large artery occlusion and a pretreatment relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) <30% volume ≥50 ml on CT perfusion (CTP) were included, clinical outcomes following endovascular treatment (EVT) were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was MLS within 48 h (early MLS presence). The association between baseline ICV and early MLS presence was evaluated with multivariable regression.

Results

Ultimately, 95 patients were included
