Introduction: Recent randomized control trials suggested that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was associated with good functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients presenting with low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) (defined as ASPECTS 2-5). The aim of this study is to develop and validate a stroke prediction tool for outcome in MT for AIS patients with low ASPECTS using data from an ongoing international multicenter registry, the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR).
Methods: 236 AIS patients with low ASPECTS caused by LVO who undertook MT between January 2010 and December 2022 were retrospectively investigated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression results were used to screen model predictors and construct nomograms of 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores (mRS) 0-3. The performance of the model was detected by using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The bootstrap resampling method was considered internal validation of the model.
Results: Age (< 70 years), premorbid status (mRS 0), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (< 20), and recanalization status after the MT (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia [mTICU] ≥2b) were related to 90-day mRS 0-3. Predictive score was calculated by adding 1 point for age (< 70 years), premorbid status (mRS 0), and NIHSS < 20 and 3 points for a mTICI ≥2b (ranging 0-6). 90-day mRS 0-3 was observed in 0% of patients with a score of 0 or 1, 6.3% with a score of 2, 17.7% with a score of 3, 22.2% with a score of 4, 45.7% with a score of 5, and 73.7% with a score of 6. The score showed relatively high performance in predicting 90-day mRS0-3 (area under the curve: 0.79 [95% CI 0.73-0.79] and 0.78 [95% CI 0.78-0.78] for derivation and validation cohorts, respectively).
Conclusions: This study indicates the STAR score can be calculated with baseline and periprocedural characteristics to predict the 90-day outcome after MT in AIS patients with low ASPECTS.
