Automated measurement of cerebral atrophy and outcome in endovascular thrombectomy

Stroke Oct 04, 2019

Diprose WK, et al. - Given that methods for identifying ischemic stroke patients with a higher probability of poor outcome following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) could improve shared treatment decision-making between patients, families, and physicians, researchers used an objective, automated method for measuring cerebral atrophy and examined whether this was correlated with outcome in patients with EVT (n = 360). Consecutive EVT patients have been studied from a single-center registry. In 204 patients, functional independence has been achieved. A functional outcome in patients undergoing EVT was associated with cerebral atrophy determined by automated measurement of intracranial CSF volume. If validated in future studies, this easy, objective, and automated imaging marker could possibly be integrated into decision-support tools to enhance shared treatment decision-making.
