Article Synopsis
- Intra-arterial therapy (IAT) is used to treat large artery occlusions in acute ischemic stroke, but often results in poor clinical outcomes despite high recanalization rates.
- Researchers developed the HIAT2 score, which combines patient age, glucose levels, stroke severity, and CT imaging findings to predict the likelihood of a poor outcome after IAT.
- In studies at UT Houston and Emory University, a HIAT2 score of 5 or higher significantly increased the chances of poor outcomes, demonstrating its effectiveness over previously established predictive models.
