Findings from MOST Trial Presented at ISC24: Blood thinners added to clot-busting medication did not improve stroke outcomes

DAIC

Findings from the highly-anticipated MOST (Multi-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis) trial were presented on the first day of the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, ISC 2024, being held through Feb. The study was looking for improvement in functional outcomes at 90 days. 9 Phoenix, AZ.

Abstract WP11: Efficacy and Safety Outcomes of thrombolysis for stroke in Low- and Middle-Income countries: Systematic Review and Metanalysis

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, with thrombolysis as a critical treatment. Studies aiming to assess the outcomes of thrombolysis after ischemic stroke in LMIC were selected. Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included and analyzed independently.

Abstract WMP5: Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Thrombectomy Improves Functional Outcome After Stroke Independent of Reperfusion Grade

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP5-AWMP5, February 1, 2024. In those who underwent thrombectomy (n=812) the association of IVT and favorable functional outcome was reproduced (adjusted OR 0.49; 95% CI [0.31;0.74]; p=0.001) and was further confirmed on propensity score analysis where IVT led to a 0.35-point

Abstract TP107: Quantifying Hospital Opportunities to Increase Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP107-ATP107, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Emergency-department-based implementation strategies to increase thrombolysis are promising. Intervening at high-volume, low-performing hospitals offers the largest opportunity to increase thrombolysis and will promote stroke racial equity.
