Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO). Yet, long-term outcome (LTO) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in these patients have rarely been addressed, as opposed to modified Rankin scale (mRS) recordings. We analysed demographic data, treatment and neuroimaging parameters in 694 consecutive stroke patients in a maximum care hospital.

Long-term functional outcome and quality of life 2.5 years after thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.

Neurol Res Pract

November 2023

Department of Neurology, Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel, University Hospital OWL of the University Bielefeld, Campus Bielefeld-Bethel, Burgsteig 13, 33617, Bielefeld, Germany.

Background: Evaluation of outcome after stroke is largely based on assessment of gross function 3 months after stroke onset using scales such as mRS. Cognitive or social functions, level of symptom burden or emotional health are not usually assessed, nor are data available on long-term functional outcomes years after stroke.

Methods: Analysis of 1141 patients with AIS treated with IVT from two major German university hospitals between 2017 and 2020.
