Abstract
Background
Many acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients have an unknown onset time. These patients require advanced imaging or are sometimes excluded from treatment. We investigated the associations between clinicoradiological variables, as assessed with non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and CT angiography (CTA), and onset-to-imaging time in AIS patients included in the MR CLEAN registry, an endovascular treatment (EVT) registry.
Methods
We included 4003 AIS patients from the MR CLEAN Registry. Patients were classified as in the early (≤4.5 h; ≤6 h) or late (>4.5 h; >6 h) onset-to-imaging time windows. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between baseline clinicoradiological variables and onset-to-imaging time. Accuracy was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses.
Results
In multivariable logistic regression, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) (OR 0.90, 95 % CI 0.84-0.97), presence of leukoaraiosis (OR 1.51, 95 % CI 1.19-1.92), and moderate (OR 2.53, 95 % CI 1.16-5.54) and good (OR 3.90, 95 % CI 1.76-8.66) collateral score were significantly associated with an >4.5 h onset-to-imaging time. ASPECTS (OR 0.89, 95 % CI 0.81-0.98), presence of leukoaraiosis (OR 1.55, 95 % CI 1.14-2.11), and a good (OR 3.31, 95 % CI 1.17-9.39) collateral score were significantly associated with an >6 h onset-to-imaging time. Area under the ROC curves was 0.63 for both the >4.5 h and >6 h time windows.
Conclusion
Among AIS patients included in the MR CLEAN registry, lower ASPECTS, presence of leukoaraiosis and a higher collateral score are associated with a late onset-to-imaging time (>4.5 h; >6 h after stroke onset). The accuracy of the association between clinicoradiological variables and onset-to-imaging time is poor.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
