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

Journal of the American Heart Association

In our study population of 1000 thrombectomy‐eligible patients (513 women; median age, 77 years [interquartile range, 67–84]), IVT emerged as a predictor of favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2) independent of modified mTICI score (adjusted odds ratio, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.32–0.75];P=0.001). 0.75];P=0.001).

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

Thrombolysis for Wake-Up Stroke Versus Non–Wake-Up Unwitnessed Stroke: EOS Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Background:Stroke with unknown time of onset can be categorized into 2 groups; wake-up stroke (WUS) and unwitnessed stroke with an onset time unavailable for reasons other than wake-up (non–wake-up unwitnessed stroke, non-WUS). In patients with WUS, the frequencies of favorable outcomes were 54.8%
