Abstract |
Background |
Stroke of unknown time of onset (UTOS) accounts for one-third of contra-indications for revascularization procedures. With modern neuroimaging techniques it is possible to differentiate the core infarcts and the presence of penumbra.
Objective |
To evaluate outcomes in patients with UTOS, treated with intravenous (i.v.) recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator (rt-PA), mechanical thrombectomy (MT), or both.
Method |
We conducted this observational study in patients treated by i.v. rt-PA, MT, or both, selected by a diffusion-weighted image/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery mismatch. We evaluated outcomes with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months.
Results |
Of 992 consecutive patients (522 women, 52.6%; median age 76 years; median baseline national institutes of health stroke scale [NIHSS] 10), 153 (15.4%) had UTOS, including 101 with wake-up strokes. Compared to other patients, they were more likely to have pre-existing mRS scores >2 (P=0.022), multiple infarcts (P<0.001), middle cerebral artery occlusions (P=0.023), and to undergo MT (P=0.003), and less likely to receive i.v. rt-PA (P<0.001). They had higher NIHSS scores (P<0.001) and longer discovery to treatment initiation times (P<0.001). They were more likely to develop pulmonary (P=0.001) and urinary (P=0.006) infections, and pulmonary embolism (P=0.019), and tended to have a higher mortality rate (P=0.052) within 7 days. After adjustment, there was no association of UTOS with any of these outcome measures anymore.
Conclusion |
Patients with UTOS have more severe strokes and more comorbidities, but after adjustment, their outcomes did not differ from those of other patients.
