RÉSUMÉ
Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment(EVT)in patients with acute posterior circulation ischemic stroke over 24 hours from onset.Methods This retrospective study retrospectively analyzed patients with acute posterior circulation ischemic stroke who received EVT in the Department of Neurology,First Hospital of Jilin University from June 2018 to June 2023.The patient's gender,age and other related demographic information were collected.The related examination results of patients were collected,including admission rapid blood glucose,admission systolic blood pressure,admission diastolic blood pressure.The related risk factors of stroke of patients were collected,including previous transient ischemic attack,hypertension,diabetes,atrial fibrillation,and history of drinking,smoking history,etc.;other related indicators were collected,including intravenous thrombolysis,tandem lesions,awakening stroke,baseline National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,and baseline posterior circulation Alberta stroke program early CT score(pc-ASPECTS),collateral circulation grade of American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology(ASITN/SIR),onset to EVT puncture time,the trial of org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification and outcome indicators(efficacy indicators included 90 days Modified Rankin scale[mRS]score≤3 after EVT,successful recanalization[extended cerebral infarction thrombolytic recanalization class 2b-3];security indexes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage[sICH]within 24 h after EVT and 90 d mortality after EVT).According to the symptom onset to EVT puncture time,the patients were divided into two groups:≤24h group and＞24h group.The patients with onset time＞24 h and those with onset time≤24 h were matched at a ratio of 1:1 by propensity score matching(PSM).All patients were divided into poor prognosis group(mRS score＞3)and good prognosis group(mRS score ≤ 3)according to mRS score at 90 days after EVT.Using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of onset time on clinical outcomes at 90 days after EVT.Results A total of 366 patients were enrolled in this study,including 284 males and 82 females.The median age was 61(55,68)years old,ranging from 25 to 91 years old.Before PSM,the＞24h group had lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation(2.02％[2/99]vs.9.74％[26/267],P=0.025)and lower baseline NIHSS score(10.0[5.0,19.0]vs.14.0[10.0,35.0],P＜0.01)and higher ASTIN/SIR collateral grade(P=0.018).After PSM,we did not find statistical difference between the two groups in baseline characteristics except for the onset to EVT puncture time.Before and after PSM,there was no significant difference in efficacy and safety between the onset time＞24 h group and the onset time ≤24h group.Univariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension(OR,0.613,95％CI 0.391-0.942,P=0.025),intravenous thrombolysis(OR,3.235,95％CI 1.316-9.237,P=0.010),baseline NIHSS score(OR,0.975,95％CI 0.957-0.988,P＜0.01),baseline pc-ASPECTS(OR,1.281,95％CI 1.101-1.482,P=0.001)and sICH within 24 h after EVT(OR,0.070,95％CI 0.000-0.330,P＜0.01)were significantly correlated with prognosis.Gender,age,hypertension,baseline NIHSS score,intravenous thrombolysis,baseline pc-ASPECTS,ASTIN/SIR collateral grade,onset time＞24 h and sICH within 24 h after EVT were included in the multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis.The multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the onset time＞24 h was not associated with poor prognosis 90 d after EVT(aOR,1.635,95％CI 0.936-2.893,P=0.087).Conclusion EVT for acute posterior circulation ischemic stroke more than 24 hours after onset is feasible under strict imaging screening,and its safety and efficacy are similar to those in patients with onset under 24 hours.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To explore the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with symptom onset exceeding 24 h.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, data were extracted from patients who underwent endovascular treatment for acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke at the First Hospital of Jilin University from February 2019 to April 2022. A total of 569 patients were included, with a mean age of 63 (54-70) years. Among them, 398 (69.9%) were male. The patients were divided into two groups based on symptom onset time:>24 h group and≤24 h group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the patients in a 1︰1 ratio between the>24 h group and the≤24 h group. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the impact of symptom onset time on outcome events.Results:Before PSM, compared with≤24 h group, the>24 h group had a younger age [56 (48, 64) vs. 64 (55, 70), Z=-3. 60, P<0.001]; lower proportion of prior atrial fibrillation [1.8% (1/57) vs. 21.1% (108/512), χ2=12.39, P<0.001]; lower proportion of wake-up stroke [7.0% (4/57) vs. 27.7% (142/512), χ2=11.54, P<0.001]; lower baseline NIHSS score [11.0 (7.5, 14.0) vs. 13.0 (10.0, 16.0), Z=-3.22, P<0.001]; and a higher American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology(ASITN/SIR) grading ( P<0.001). After PSM, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score≤2 at 90 days after surgery between the two groups (before matching: 42.0% vs. 40.4%, OR=0.745, 95% CI 0.407-1.362, P=0.339; after matching: 51.8% vs. 39.3%, OR=0.511, 95% CI 0.212-1.236, P=0.136). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of any safety outcomes between the>24 h group and the≤24 h group. Conclusion:For patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with symptom onset exceeding 24 h, EVT is feasible after strict radiological screening and has similar safety and effectiveness as for patients with symptom onset under 24 h.
