PREDICTORS OF SYMPTOMATIC INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE FOLLOWING INTRAVENOUS THROMBOLYSIS IN ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKEABSTRACTDespite its effectiveness, the percentage of ischemic stroke patients who received definitive treatment, thrombolysis, never went above 10%, due to one of the reason is the occurrence of severe, post-therapeutic complications, such as symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Several factors contribute to sICH occurrence are age, severity of stroke, early changes of ischemic sign, hyperglycemia, blood pressure, antiplatelet use and its interval. Patients with highest risk of sICH has been shown to have the greatest benefits from thrombolysis among other subgroup patients, therefore withholding therapy is not a choice. Compliance to the stroke’s guidelines could reduce the risk of complications as well as boost effectiveness of treatment.Keywords: Safety predictors, acute ischemic stroke, thrombolysis, sICH ABSTRAK Walau terbukti efektif, persentase pasien yang dapat dilakukan tindakan definitif stroke iskemik akut berupa trombolisis  tidak  pernah  mencapai  angka  10%,  salah  satunya  disebabkan  pertimbangan  terhadap  komplikasi  berat, seperti symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Beberapa faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian sICH antara lain usia, derajat stroke, perubahan tanda iskemik dini, hiperglikemia dan diabetes melitus, tekanan darah, penggunaan antiplatelet, serta waktu pemberian. Pasien dengan risiko sICH tertinggi memiliki keuntungan terbesar dari trombolisis sehingga menunda tindakan bukanlah suatu opsi. Kepatuhan terhadap panduan tindakan dapat mengurangi angka kejadian komplikasi berat.Kata kunci: Prediktor keamanan, stroke iskemik akut, trombolisis, sICH

Background There are limited data on intravenous thrombolysis treatment in ischemic stroke patients with prestroke disability. Aim We aimed to evaluate safety and outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis treatment in stroke patients with prestroke disability. Methods We analyzed 88,094 patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis, recorded in the Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke (SITS) International Thrombolysis Register between January 2003 and December 2017, with available NIHSS data at stroke-onset and after 24 h. Of them, 4566 patients (5.2%) had prestroke disability, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3–5. Safety outcome measures included Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage, any type of parenchymal hematoma on 24 h imaging scans irrespective of clinical symptoms, and death within seven days. Early outcome measures were 24-h NIHSS improvement (≥4 from baseline to 24 h). Results Patients with prestroke disability were older, had more severe strokes, and more comorbidities than patients without prestroke disability. When comparing patients with prestroke disability with patients without prestroke disability, there was however no significant increase in adjusted odds for symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio 0.83 (95% CI 0.60–1.15) (absolute difference in proportion 1.17% vs. 1.27%)) or for parenchymal hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio 0.96 (0.83–1.11) (7.51% vs. 6.34%)). The prestroke disability group had a significantly lower-adjusted odds ratio for a 24-h NIHSS improvement (adjusted odds ratio 0.79 (0.73–0.85) (45.95% vs. 48.45%)) and a higher adjusted odds ratio for seven-day mortality (aOR 1.40 (1.21–1.61) (10.40% vs. 4.93%)). Conclusions Intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients with prestroke disability was not associated with an increased risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage or parenchymal hemorrhage. Prestroke disability was however associated with a higher risk of early mortality compared to patients without prestroke disability.

Background. Intravenous thrombolysis has been shown as an appropriate treatment for stroke patients within 3–4.5 hours from the onset of stroke in randomized and observational studies, yet extended therapeutic window remains off-label in routine clinical setting. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis within 3–4.5 hours for acute stroke patients in Lithuania. Methods. In this pair-matched case control study stroke patients treated by intravenous thrombolysis during January 2002 – May 2010 were included. The patients were divided into two groups according to onset-to-needle time (0–180 min. (group I), and 181–270 min. (group II)), and were pair-matched 1 : 1 according to age and stroke severity. The primary end-point was good functional status after 3 months. Mortality and rates of life-threatening bleeding and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage were used for analysis of safety profile. Results. 28 pairs were included in the final analysis. The mean onset-to-needle time was significantly higher in group II. There was no difference between the groups according to baseline variables. 32.1% of patients in group I and 39.3% of patients in group II had good functional status (p = 0.58) after 3 months. No significant differences were found between the groups in the safety profile, however, the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was higher in group I. Conclusions. Intravenous thrombolysis within 3–4.5 h after the onset of stroke is acceptable and effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke in our routine clinical setting. Further studies are needed to assess the reasons of higher rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.

BackgroundDespite successful recanalization after endovascular treatment, many patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion still show functional dependence, namely futile recanalization.MethodsPubMed and Embase were searched up to April 30, 2021. Studies that reported risk factors for futile recanalization following endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke were included. The mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of each study were pooled for a meta-analysis.ResultsTwelve studies enrolling 2138 patients were included. The pooled analysis showed that age (MD 5.81, 95% CI 4.16 to 7.46), female sex (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.68), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (MD 4.22, 95% CI 3.38 to 5.07), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) (MD −0.71, 95% CI −1.23 to –0.19), hypertension (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.43 to 2.09), diabetes (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.41 to 2.24), atrial fibrillation (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.51), admission systolic blood pressure (MD 4.98, 95% CI 1.87 to 8.09), serum glucose (MD 0.59, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.81), internal carotid artery occlusion (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.17 to 2.95), pre-treatment intravenous thrombolysis (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.83), onset-to-puncture time (MD 16.92, 95% CI 6.52 to 27.31), puncture-to-recanalization time (MD 12.37, 95% CI 7.96 to 16.79), and post-treatment symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (OR 6.09, 95% CI 3.18 to 11.68) were significantly associated with futile recanalization.ConclusionThis study identified female sex, comorbidities, admission systolic blood pressure, serum glucose, occlusion site, non-bridging therapy, and post-procedural complication as predictors of futile recanalization, and also confirmed previously reported factors. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed.

Background and Purpose— If anterior circulation large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with ASPECTS 0–5 (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) should be treated with mechanical thrombectomy remains unclear. Purpose of this study was to report on the outcome of patients with ASPECTS 0–5 treated with mechanical thrombectomy and to provide data regarding the effect of successful reperfusion on clinical outcomes and safety measures in these patients. Methods— Multicenter, pooled analysis of 7 institutional prospective registries: Bernese-European Registry for Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated Outside Current Guidelines With Neurothrombectomy Devices Using the SOLITAIRE FR With the Intention for Thrombectomy (Clinical Trial Registration—URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT03496064). Primary outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale 0–3 at day 90 (favorable outcome). Secondary outcomes included rates of day 90 modified Rankin Scale 0–2 (functional independence), day 90 mortality and occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association of successful reperfusion with clinical outcomes. Outputs are displayed as adjusted Odds Ratios (aOR) and 95% CI. Results— Two hundred thirty-seven of 2046 patients included in this registry presented with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and ASPECTS 0–5. In this subgroup, the overall rates of favorable outcome and mortality at day 90 were 40.1% and 40.9%. Achieving successful reperfusion was independently associated with favorable outcome (aOR, 5.534; 95% CI, 2.363–12.961), functional independence (aOR, 5.583; 95% CI, 1.964–15.873), reduced mortality (aOR, 0.180; 95% CI, 0.083–0.390), and lower rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (aOR, 0.235; 95% CI, 0.062–0.887). The mortality-reducing effect remained in patients with ASPECTS 0–4 (aOR, 0.167; 95% CI, 0.056–0.499). Sensitivity analyses did not change the primary results. Conclusions— In patients presenting with ASPECTS 0–5, who were treated with mechanical thrombectomy, successful reperfusion was beneficial without increasing the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Although the results do not allow for general treatment recommendations, formal testing of mechanical thrombectomy versus best medical treatment in these patients in a randomized controlled trial is warranted.

Background: Although intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and endovascular therapy (EVT) are considered standard-of-care treatment of acute ischemic stroke in adults, safety and efficacy of these treatment modalities in children is unknown to date. We reviewed current literature and synthesized data on safety and efficacy of IVT and EVT in children with ischemic stroke. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available case series and observational studies that evaluated safety of IVT and EVT in pediatric stroke patients aged less than 18 years. We searched the electronic databases Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar for eligible studies. Safety outcomes comprised any intracerebral hemorrhage post-treatment and in-hospital mortality. A random-effects model was used to compute pooled effect estimates and the I 2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. Our analysis complied with PRISMA statement. Results: We identified 152 records through database searching, of which only 3 studies with a total of 16,335 pediatric patients with ischemic stroke met our eligibility criteria. Of these studies, two explored safety of sole IVT and one combinatory IVT/EVT. In-hospital mortality rates were similar between pediatric stroke patients treated with either IVT or IVT/EVT and controls (odds ratio=0.85, 95%CI: 0.15-4.87; p=0.857), with moderate evidence of heterogeneity ( I 2 =64%). Risk of intracerebral hemorrhage was substantially increased in children receiving IVT (odds ratio=3.60, 95%CI: 1.66-7.80; p=0.001) compared with controls, with no evidence of heterogeneity ( I 2 =0%). Efficacy of revascularization therapies could not be analyzed due to lack of uniform outcome data in the included studies. Conclusions: Our synthesized data analysis revealed a substantial lack of evidence for acute revascularization treatment of children with ischemic stroke. While an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage related to IVT emerged in our analysis, further research is needed to elaborate these findings.
