Article Synopsis
- Frailty is linked to worse outcomes post-stroke, while obesity shows a paradox where higher BMI linked to better survival rates; this study examines how low BMI impacts outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
- A retrospective analysis of 231 stroke patients revealed no significant outcome differences between various BMI classifications, but a critical BMI threshold of 23.62 kg/m was identified for survival benefits.
- Patients with a BMI ≤23.62 kg/m experienced significantly poorer survival and function after MT, indicating the need for further research on the consequences of being underweight in stroke recovery.
