Background: While some ischemic stroke patients improve rapidly after onset, many show no improvement or even worsening in the first days after stroke. We hypothesized that development of brain regions with “progressive ischemia” within hours of stroke onset may predict poor clinical outcome. Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients underwent two MR scans: within 4.5 hrs (tp1) and at 6 hrs (tp2) after onset. Mean transit time (MTT) maps measured tp1 and tp2 perfusion deficits. “Perfusion deficit” was defined as MTT > 6 s longer than the contralateral median. Volume of progressive ischemia (V PR ) was defined by regions of normal perfusion (MTT<6) at tp1 which became abnormal (MTT>6) at tp2. Bivariate analyses between V PR and ΔNIHSS from admission to 1 month, V PR and 1 month mRS, and V PR and 1 month mortality were performed. Multivariable regression identified if V PR predicted ΔNIHSS, mRS, and mortality after adjusting for admission NIHSS, volume of reperfusion (V rep ), and volume of tp1 perfusion deficit (V tp1 ). Regression analysis determined if tPA treatment predicted V PR after adjusting for admission NIHSS and V tp1 . Results: Fifty patients were scanned at 2.9 (tp1) and 6.4 hrs (tp2) after onset. Mean NIHSS=14; 74% received IV tPA. Progressive ischemia was found in 34 (68%) patients (Fig. shows patient example). Mean V tp1 , V rep , and V PR were 50, 14.4, and 6.4ml, respectively. V PR correlated with ΔNIHSS (r=-.25, p=0.096), mRS (r=.44, p=0.002), and mortality (r=.31, p=0.034). In multivariable analysis, V PR predicted less improvement in ΔNIHSS (β=-.19, p=0.019) and greater disability on mRS (β=0.06, p=0.016). In multivariable analysis, tPA treatment negatively predicted V PR (β=-3.6, p=0.050). Conclusion: Progressive ischemia, identified in 2/3 of our cohort, predicted worse outcomes. As tPA treatment predicted less progressive ischemia, therapies aimed at preventing progressive ischemia in acute ischemic stroke may be considered in addition to promoting reperfusion.

Background: Early reperfusion is associated with improved clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke; however, there is no consensus regarding which perfusion parameter may best serve as a marker of clinical improvement. We compared three commonly used MRI perfusion parameters, mean transit time (MTT), time-to-peak (TTP), and Tmax, to identify which method of measuring reperfusion best predicted clinical improvement. Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients underwent two MR scans: within 4.5 hours (tp1) and at 6 hours (tp2) after stroke onset. Co-registered MTT, TTP, and Tmax maps were generated to measure regions of perfusion deficit at tp1 and tp2. Perfusion deficit was defined as prolongation of MTT, TTP, or Tmax beyond four pre-specified thresholds for each parameter (4 thresholds were chosen to ensure results were not spuriously based on one threshold). Commonly-used thresholds (relative to contralateral median) were selected for each parameter: for MTT: >3, 4, 5, or 6 seconds (s), for TTP: >2, 4, 6, or 8s, and for Tmax: >2, 4, 6, and 8s. The volume of reperfusion (Vreperf) was defined as the volume of tissue with perfusion deficit at tp1 and no perfusion deficit at tp2. Clinical improvement was defined as: Admission NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) - 1 month NIHSS (ΔNIHSS). A multivariable linear regression model identified if Vreperf as measured by MTT, TTP, or Tmax was an independent predictor of clinical improvement after adjusting for patient age, admission NIHSS, tPA treatment, and volume of tp1 perfusion deficit. Results: Thirty-nine acute ischemic stroke patients were prospectively scanned at 2.8±.8hr (tp1) and 6.4±.4hr (tp2) after stroke onset (mean age=64, 44% female, 36% Black, mean NIHSS=14, 74% received IV tPA). Across the four thresholds, mean volume of perfusion deficit ranged from 58-96ml for MTT, 56-116ml for TTP, and 51-113ml for Tmax. Mean Vreperf ranged from 15-22ml for MTT, 15-23ml for TTP, and 14-21ml for Tmax. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, after adjusting for age, admission NIHSS, tPA treatment, and volume of tp1 perfusion deficit, Vreperf predicted ΔNIHSS for MTT=4s (p=0.007), MTT=5s (p=0.005), and MTT=6s (p=0.010), whereas Vreperf did not predict ΔNIHSS for any TTP or Tmax threshold ( Table ). Conclusion: Reperfusion, defined by MTT, was an independent predictor of clinical improvement, while reperfusion defined by TTP and Tmax were not. Therefore, MTT may be the best time-based perfusion parameter to define clinically-relevant reperfusion after stroke.

Background and Purpose: It is well established that earlier treatment times are associated with better outcomes in acute stroke patients receiving thrombolysis. There is also an association between time from stroke onset and lesion visibility on FLAIR MRI. We hypothesized that lesion visibility on FLAIR, independent of time, may be a predictor of outcome in stroke patients with known onset. Methods: We analyzed data from acute ischemic stroke patients presenting over the last 10 years who were screened with MRI and treated with IV thrombolysis within 4.5 hours from known onset. Three independent readers assessed whether acute ischemic lesions seen on Diffusion Weighted Imaging were also FLAIR-positive based on visual inspection. Multivariable regression analysis was used to obtain an adjusted odds ratio of favorable clinical and radiological outcomes based on FLAIR-positivity. Results: Of 310 stroke patients, 24% had lesion visibility on initial FLAIR MRI. The interrater agreement for the FLAIR-positive assessment was 84% (κ=0.604, 95% CI 0.557-0.652). Patients with FLAIR-positive lesions were younger (67 vs 73 years, p=0.028), had more right hemispheric strokes (57% vs 42%, p=0.018), were imaged later (127 vs 104 minutes, p=0.010), had more frequent blood-brain barrier disruption (44% vs 26%, p=0.004), less frequent early neurologic improvement (30% vs 58%, p<0.001), and less frequent favorable 90-day functional outcome (49% vs 63%, p=0.039). Following multivariable logistic regression, older age, greater NIH Stroke Scale, lesion visibility on FLAIR, but not time-from-onset, were independently associated with less favorable outcome. Conclusions: FLAIR-positive acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of known onset was associated with less favorable 90-day outcome after IV thrombolysis. When compared with time, lesion visibility on FLAIR was more strongly associated with outcome.

Arterial Recanalization

Background: Data on arterial recanalization after IV t-PA treatment are rare. IMS-3 allows the study of variables affecting arterial recanalization after IV t-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients with CTA-proved major artery occlusions. Methods: Of 656 acute ischemic stroke patients in IMS-3, 306 were examined with baseline CTA and randomized either to IV t-PA (N=95) or to IV t-PA followed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and endovascular therapy (EVT) (N=211). Comparison of baseline CTA to DSA within 5 hours of stroke onset assessed early arterial recanalization after IV t-PA. A central core lab categorized DSA vessel occlusion as “no, partial, or complete”. We studied the association between arterial occlusion sites on baseline CTA with early recanalization for the endovascular group and analyzed its impact on clinical outcome at 90 days. Results: In the EVT group, 22 patients (10.4%) had no CTA intracranial occlusions, but 1 extracranial occlusion; 42 patients (19.9%) had occlusions of intracranial internal carotid artery (ic-ICA); 10 patients (4.7%) had tandem occlusions of the cervical ICA and middle cerebral artery (MCA); 95 patients (45.0%) had MCA-trunk (M1) occlusions, 33 patients (15.6%) had M2 occlusions, 3 patients (1.4%) had M3/4 occlusions, and 6 patients (2.8%) occlusions within posterior circulation. Partial or complete recanalization occurred in 28.6% of patients before DSA and was marginally associated with occlusion site (p=0.0525) (8 patients (19.0%) with ic-ICA occlusion, 0 patients with tandem ICA/MCA occlusions, 34 patients (35.8%) with M1 occlusions, 11 patients (33.3%) with M2 occlusions, 0 patients with M3/4 occlusions, and 1 patient (16.7%) with occlusion within posterior circulation). Three CTA negative patients had intracranial occlusions on DSA. Thirty-two patients (59.3%) with early recanalization achieved mRS of 0-2 at 90 days compared to 51 patients (38.4%) without early recanalization (p=0.0099). There was no relationship between early recanalization and time to IV t-PA or mean t-PA dose. Conclusion: Before EVT, IV rt-PA may facilitate arterial recanalization and better clinical outcome in about one third of patients.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Acute ischemic stroke is a life-threatening risk factor for COVID-19 infection. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the predictors of poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between NLR values and the clinical outcome of acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19 that was measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19 admitted between 1 March 2020 and 31 May 2021 were recruited. The NLR values and the NIHSS scores were assessed during the admission and the correlation between NLR and NIHSS scores was calculated. This study included 21 patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19, consisting of 12 males and 9 females. The mean age was 57.6 years old. The mean NLR values was 8.33±6.7 and the NIHSS scores ranging from 1 to 33. Our data suggested a positive correlation between NLR values and NIHSS scores, r=0.45 with p=0.041. In conclusion, the NLR value is potentially to be used as a predictor of the clinical outcome in acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19. However, further study is warranted to validate this finding.

Background Stroke rehabilitation improves functional recovery among stroke patients. However, little is known about clinical practice in China regarding the assessment and provision of rehabilitation among patients with acute ischemic stroke. Aims We examined the frequency and determinants of an assessment for rehabilitation among acute ischemic stroke patients from the China National Stroke Registry II. Methods Data for 19,294 acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to 219 hospitals from June 2012 to January 2013 were analyzed. The multivariable logistic regression model with the generalized estimating equation method accounting for in-hospital clustering was used to identify patient and hospital factors associated with having a rehabilitation assessment during the acute hospitalization. Results Among 19,294 acute ischemic stroke patients, 11,451 (59.4%) were assessed for rehabilitation. Rates of rehabilitation assessment varied among 219 hospitals (IQR 41.4% vs 81.5%). In the multivariable analysis, factors associated with increased likelihood of a rehabilitation assessment ( p < 0.05) included disability prior to stroke, higher NIHSS on admission, receipt of a dysphagia screen, deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis, carotid vessel imaging, longer length of stay, and treatment at a hospital with a higher number of hospital beds (per 100 units). In contrast, patients with a history of atrial fibrillation and hospitals with higher number of annual stroke discharges (per 100 patients) were less likely to receive rehabilitation assessment during the acute stroke hospitalization. Conclusions Rehabilitation assessment among acute ischemic stroke patients was suboptimal in China. Rates varied considerably among hospitals and support the need to improve adherence to recommended care for stroke survivors.

Effect Of Age

BackgroundPatient age and baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) are both independent predictors of outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with endovascular therapy (EVT). We assessed the combined effect of age and ASEPCTS on clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients with LVO with and without EVT, and EVT treatment effect in different age/ASPECTS subgroups.MethodsThe HERMES collaboration pooled data of seven randomized controlled trials that tested the efficacy of EVT. Adjusted logistic regression was performed to test for multiplicative interaction of age and ASPECTS with the primary outcome (ordinal mRS) and secondary outcomes (mRS 0–2/0–1/0–3) in the EVT and control arms. Patients were then stratified by age (<75 vs ≥75 years) and ASPECTS (0–5/6–7/8–10), and adjusted effect-size estimates for the association of EVT were derived for the six age/ASPECTS subgroups.Results1735 patients were included in the analysis. There was no multiplicative interaction between age and ASPECTS on clinical outcomes. In the exploratory subgroup analysis, we found a nominally negative point estimate for the association of EVT with clinical outcome in the ASPECTS 0–5/age ≥75, subgroup (acOR 0.36, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.89). The point estimate for moderate outcome (mRS0-3) nominally favored EVT (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 0.16 to 9.84). In all other subgroups, effect size-estimates consistently favored EVT.ConclusionThere was no multiplicative interaction of age and ASPECTS on clinical outcomes in EVT or control arm patients. Outcomes in patients ≥75 years with ASPECTS 0–5 were poor, irrespective of treatment. Further investigation to define the role of EVT and range of acceptable outcomes in this subgroup is warranted.

The Impact

Background: We studied the impact of collateral circulation on CT perfusion (CTP) parametric maps and the amount of salvaged brain tissue, the imaging and clinical outcome at 24 h and at 3 months in a retrospective acute (<3 h) stroke cohort (105 patients) with anterior circulation thrombus treated with intravenous thrombolysis. Methods: Baseline clinical and imaging information were collected and groups with different collateral scores (CS) were compared. Binary logistic regression analyses using good CS (CS ≥2) as the dependent variable were calculated. Results: CTP Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was successfully assessed in 58 cases. Thirty patients displayed good CS. Poor CS were associated with more severe strokes according to National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at arrival (15 vs. 7, p = 0.005) and at 24 h (10 vs. 3, p = 0.003) after intravenous thrombolysis. Good CS were associated with a longer mean onset-to-treatment time (141 vs. 121 min, p = 0.009) and time to CTP (102 vs. 87 min, p = 0.047), better cerebral blood volume (CBV) ASPECTS (9 vs. 6, p < 0.001), better mean transit time (MTT) ASPECTS (6 vs. 3, p < 0.001), better noncontrast CT (NCCT) ASPECTS (10 vs. 8, p < 0.001) at arrival and with favorable clinical outcome at 3 months (modified Rankin Scale ≤2, p = 0.002). The fraction of penumbra that was salvageable at arrival and salvaged at 24 h was higher with better CS (p < 0.001 and p = 0.035, respectively). In multivariate analysis, time from the onset of symptoms to imaging (p = 0.037, OR 1.04 per minute, 95% CI 1.00-1.08) and CBV ASPECTS (p = 0.001, OR 2.11 per ASPECTS point, 95% CI 1.33-3.34) predicted good CS. In similar multivariable models, MTT ASPECTS (p = 0.04, OR 1.46 per ASPECTS point, 95% CI 1.02-2.10) and NCCT ASPECTS predicted good CS (p = 0.003, OR 4.38 per CT ASPECTS point, 95% CI 1.66-11.55) along with longer time from the onset of symptoms to imaging (p = 0.045, OR 1.03 per minute, 95% CI 1.00-1.06 and p = 0.02, OR 1.05 per minute, 95% CI 1.00-1.09, respectively). CBV ASPECTS had a larger area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for good CS (0.837) than NCCT ASPECTS (0.802) or MTT ASPECTS (0.752) at arrival. Conclusions: Favorable CBV ASPECTS, NCCT ASPECTS and MTT ASPECTS are associated with good CS along with more salvageable tissue and longer time from the onset of symptoms to imaging in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
