    Abstract: To assess the impact of dissected artery occlusion (DAO) on functional outcome and complications in patients with cervical artery dissection (CeAD). Methods We analyzed combined individual patient data from 3 multicenter cohorts of consecutive patients with CeAD (the Cervical Artery Dissection and Ischemic Stroke Patients [CADISP]–Plus consortium dataset). Patients with data on DAO and functional outcome were included. We compared patients with DAO to those without DAO. Primary outcome was favorable functional outcome (i.e., modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 0–1) measured 3–6 months from baseline. Secondary outcomes included delayed cerebral ischemia, major hemorrhage, recurrent CeAD, and death. We performed univariate and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses and calculated odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), with adjustment for potential confounders. Results Of 2,148 patients (median age 45 years [interquartile range (IQR) 38–52], 43.6% women), 728 (33.9%) had DAO. Patients with DAO more frequently presented with cerebral ischemia (84.6% vs 58.5%, p 〈 0.001). Patients with DAO were less likely to have favorable outcome when compared to patients without DAO (mRS 0–1: 59.6% vs 80.1%, p unadjusted 〈 0.001). After adjustment for age, sex, and initial stroke severity, DAO was independently associated with less favorable outcome (mRS 0–1: OR 0.65, CI 0.50–0.84, p = 0.001). Delayed cerebral ischemia occurred more frequently in patients with DAO than in patients without DAO (4.5% vs 2.9%, p = 0.059). Conclusion DAO independently predicts less favorable functional outcome in patients with CeAD. Further research on vessel patency, collateral status and effects of revascularization therapies particularly in patients with DAO is warranted.

    Abstract: Data on the effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with stroke attributable to atrial fibrillation (AF) who were dependent on the daily help of others at hospital discharge are scarce. Methods: Based on prospectively obtained data from the observational Novel-Oral-Anticoagulants-in-Ischemic-Stroke-Patients-longterm registry from Basel, Switzerland, we compared the occurrence of the primary outcome—the composite of recurrent ischemic stroke, major bleeding, and all-cause death—among consecutive patients with AF-stroke treated with either VKAs or DOACs between patients dependent (defined as modified Rankin Scale score, 3–5) and patients independent at discharge. We used simple, adjusted, and weighted Cox proportional hazards regression to account for potential confounders. Results: We analyzed 801 patients (median age 80 years, 46% female), of whom 391 (49%) were dependent at discharge and 680 (85%) received DOACs. Over a total follow-up of 1216 patient-years, DOAC- compared to VKA-treated patients had a lower hazard for the composite outcome (hazard ratio [HR], 0.58 [95% CI, 0.42–0.81] ), as did independent compared to dependent patients (HR, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.40–0.71]). There was no evidence that the effect of anticoagulant type (DOAC versus VKA) on the hazard for the composite outcome differed between dependent (HR dependent , 0.68 [95% CI, 0.45–1.01]) and independent patients (HR independent , 0.44 [95% CI, 0.26–0.75]) in the simple model ( P interaction =0.212). Adjusted (HR dependent , 0.74 [95% CI, 0.49–1.11] and HR independent , 0.51 [95% CI, 0.30–0.87]; P interaction =0.284) and weighted models (HR dependent , 0.79 [95% CI, 0.48–1.31] and HR independent , 0.46 [95% CI, 0.26–0.81]; P interaction =0.163) yielded concordant results. Secondary analyses focusing on the individual components of the composite outcome were consistent to the primary analyses. Conclusions: The benefits of DOACs in patients with atrial fibrillation with a recent stroke were maintained among patients who were dependent on the help of others at discharge.

    CADMUS : A Novel MRI-Based Classification of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated With Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2024
    In:  Neurology Vol. 102, No. 1 ( 2024-01-9)
    Details
    In: Neurology, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 102, No. 1 ( 2024-01-9)
    Abstract: Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is the major cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). There is no comprehensive, easily applicable classification of ICH subtypes according to the presumed underlying SVD using MRI. We developed an MRI-based classification for SVD-related ICH. Methods We performed a retrospective study in the prospectively collected Swiss Stroke Registry (SSR, 2013–2019) and the Stroke InvestiGation in North And central London (SIGNAL) cohort. Patients with nontraumatic, SVD-related ICH and available MRI within 3 months were classified as Cerebral Amyloid angiopathy (CAA), Deep perforator arteriopathy (DPA), Mixed CAA-DPA, or Undetermined SVD using hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic MRI markers (CADMUS classification). The primary outcome was inter-rater reliability using Gwet's AC1. Secondary outcomes were recurrent ICH/ischemic stroke at 3 months according to the CADMUS phenotype. We performed Firth penalized logistic regressions and competing risk analyses. Results The SSR cohort included 1,180 patients (median age [interquartile range] 73 [62–80] years, baseline NIH Stroke Scale 6 [2–12], 45.6% lobar hematoma, systolic blood pressure on admission 166 [145–185] mm Hg). The CADMUS phenotypes were as follows: mixed CAA-DPA (n = 751 patients, 63.6%), undetermined SVD (n = 203, 17.2%), CAA (n = 154, 13.1%), and DPA (n = 72, 6.3%), with a similar distribution in the SIGNAL cohort (n = 313). Inter-rater reliability was good (Gwet's AC1 for SSR/SIGNAL 0.69/0.74). During follow-up, 56 patients had 57 events (28 ICH, 29 ischemic strokes). Three-month event rates were comparable between the CADMUS phenotypes. Discussion CADMUS, a novel MRI-based classification for SVD-associated ICH, is feasible and reproducible and may improve the classification of ICH subtypes in clinical practice and research.

    Biomarker, Imaging, and Clinical Factors Associated With Overt and Covert Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2023

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 54, No. 10 ( 2023-10), p. 2542-2551
    Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for stroke and silent brain infarcts. We studied whether a multimodal approach offers additional insights to the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score in predicting stroke or new brain infarcts on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over a 2-year follow-up. METHODS: Swiss-AF is a prospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with known atrial fibrillation. We included patients with available brain MRI both at enrollment and 2 years later. The dates of the baseline and follow-up visits ranged from March 2014 to November 2020. The primary outcome was assessed 2 years after baseline and was defined as a composite of clinically identified stroke or any new brain infarct on the 2-year MRI. We compared a multivariable logistic regression model including prespecified clinical, biomarker, and baseline MRI variables to the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score. RESULTS: We included 1232 patients, 89.8% of them taking oral anticoagulants. The primary outcome occurred in 78 patients (6.3%). The following baseline variables were included in the final multivariate model and were significantly associated with the primary outcome: white matter lesion volume in milliliters (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.91 [95% CI, 1.45–2.56] ), NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; aOR, 1.75 [95% CI, 1.20–2.63]), GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor-15; aOR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.11–2.53] ), serum creatinine (aOR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.02–2.22]), IL (interleukin)-6 (aOR, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.00–1.86] ), and hFABP (heart-type fatty acid–binding protein; aOR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.31–0.73]). Overall performance and discrimination of the new model was superior to that of the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score (C statistic, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.77–0.87] versus 0.64 [95% CI, 0.58–0.70] ). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with atrial fibrillation, a model incorporating white matter lesion volume on baseline MRI and selected blood markers yielded new insights on residual stroke risk despite a high proportion of patients on oral anticoagulants. This may be relevant to develop further preventive measures.

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 54, No. 3 ( 2023-03), p. 722-730
    Abstract: We assessed the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in adult stroke patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window not fulfilling the DEFUSE-3 (Thrombectomy for Stroke at 6 to 16 Hours With Selection by Perfusion Imaging trial) and DAWN (Thrombectomy 6 to 24 Hours After Stroke With a Mismatch Between Deficit and Infarct trial) inclusion criteria. Methods: Cohort study of adults with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion admitted between 6 and 24 hours after last-seen-well at 5 participating Swiss stroke centers between 2014 and 2021. Mismatch was assessed by computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging perfusion with automated software (RAPID or OLEA). We excluded patients meeting DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria and compared those who underwent MT with those receiving best medical treatment alone by inverse probability of treatment weighting using the propensity score. The primary efficacy end point was a favorable functional outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score shift toward lower categories. The primary safety end point was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 7 days of stroke onset; the secondary was all-cause mortality within 90 days. Results: Among 278 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window, 190 (68%) did not meet the DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria and thus were included in the analyses. Of those, 102 (54%) received MT. In the inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis, patients in the MT group had higher odds of favorable outcomes compared with the best medical treatment alone group (modified Rankin Scale shift: acOR, 1.46 [1.02–2.10]; P =0.04) and lower odds of all-cause mortality within 90 days (aOR, 0.59 [0.37–0.93]; P =0.02). There were no significant differences in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (MT versus best medical treatment alone: 5% versus 2%, P =0.63). Conclusions: Two out of 3 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window did not meet the DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria. In these patients, MT was associated with higher odds of favorable functional outcomes without increased rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. These findings support the enrollment of patients into ongoing randomized trials on MT in the late window with more permissive inclusion criteria.

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 53, No. 5 ( 2022-05), p. 1520-1529
    Abstract: Endovascular treatment in large artery occlusion stroke reduces disability. However, the impact of anesthesia type on clinical outcomes remains uncertain. Methods: We compared consecutive patients in the Swiss Stroke Registry with anterior circulation stroke receiving endovascular treatment with or without general anesthesia (GA). The primary outcome was disability on the modified Rankin Scale after 3 months, analyzed with ordered logistic regression. Secondary outcomes included dependency or death (modified Rankin Scale score ≥ 3), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale after 24 hours, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage with ≥ 4 points worsening on National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale within 7 days, and mortality. Coarsened exact matching and propensity score matching were performed to adjust for indication bias. Results: One thousand two hundred eighty-four patients (GA: n=851, non-GA: n=433) from 8 Stroke Centers were included. Patients treated with GA had higher modified Rankin Scale scores after 3 months than patients treated without GA, in the unmatched (odds ratio [OR], 1.75 [1.42–2.16] ; P 〈 0.001), the coarsened exact matching (n=332–524, using multiple imputations of missing values; OR, 1.60 [1.08–2.36]; P =0.020), and the propensity score matching analysis (n=568; OR, 1.61 [1.20–2.15]; P =0.001). In the coarsened exact matching analysis, there were no significant differences in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale after 1 day (estimated coefficient 2.61 [0.59–4.64]), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (OR, 1.06 [0.30–3.75] ), dependency or death (OR, 1.42 [0.91–2.23]), or mortality (OR, 1.65 [0.94–2.89] ). In the propensity score matching analysis, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale after 24 hours (estimated coefficient, 3.40 [1.76–5.04]), dependency or death (OR, 1.49 [1.07–2.07] ), and mortality (OR, 1.65 [1.11–2.45]) were higher in the GA group, whereas symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage did not differ significantly (OR, 1.77 [0.73–4.29] ). Conclusions: This large study showed worse functional outcome after endovascular treatment of anterior circulation stroke with GA than without GA in a real-world setting. This finding appears to be independent of known differences in patient characteristics between groups.

    Abstract: Evidence-based hemostatic treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is lacking. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug potentially limiting hematoma expansion. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of TXA in NOAC-ICH. METHODS: We performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial at 6 Swiss stroke centers. Patients with NOAC-ICH within 12 hours of symptom onset and 48 hours of last NOAC intake were randomized (1:1) to receive either intravenous TXA (1 g over 10 minutes followed by 1 g over 8 hours) or matching placebo in addition to standard medical care via a centralized Web-based procedure with minimization on key prognostic factors. All participants and investigators were masked to treatment allocation. Primary outcome was hematoma expansion, defined as ≥33% relative or ≥6 mL absolute volume increase at 24 hours and analyzed using logistic regression adjusted for baseline hematoma volume on an intention-to-treat basis. RESULTS: Between December 12, 2016, and September 30, 2021, we randomized 63 patients (median age, 82 years [interquartile range, 76–86]; 40% women; median hematoma volume, 11.5 [4.8–27.4] mL) of the 109 intended sample size before premature trial discontinuation due to exhausted funding. The primary outcome did not differ between TXA (n=32) and placebo (n=31) arms (12 [38%] versus 14 [45%] ; adjusted odds ratio, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.22–1.82]; P =0.40). There was a signal for interaction with onset-to-treatment time ( P interaction =0.024), favoring TXA when administered within 6 hours of symptom onset. Between the TXA and placebo arms, the proportion of participants who died (15 [47%] versus 13 [42%] ; adjusted odds ratio, 1.07 [0.37–3.04]; P =0.91) or had major thromboembolic complications within 90 days (4 [13%] versus 2 [6%] ; odds ratio, 1.86 [0.37–9.50]; P =0.45) did not differ. All thromboembolic events occurred at least 2 weeks after study treatment, exclusively in participants not restarted on oral anticoagulation. CONCLUSIONS: In a smaller-than-intended NOAC-ICH patient sample, we found no evidence that TXA prevents hematoma expansion, but there were no major safety concerns. Larger trials on hemostatic treatments targeting an early treatment window are needed for NOAC-ICH. REGISTRATION: URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT02866838.

    Reasons for Prehospital Delay in Acute Ischemic Stroke

    Abstract: Prehospital delay reduces the proportion of patients with stroke treated with recanalization therapies. We aimed to identify novel and modifiable risk factors for prehospital delay. Methods and Results We included patients with an ischemic stroke confirmed by diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging, symptom onset within 24 hours and hospitalized in the Stroke Center of the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. Trained study nurses interviewed patients and proxies along a standardized questionnaire. Prehospital delay was defined as 〉 4.5 hours between stroke onset—or time point of wake‐up—and admission. Overall, 336 patients were enrolled. Prehospital delay was observed in 140 patients (42%). The first healthcare professionals to be alarmed were family doctors for 29% of patients (97/336), and a quarter of these patients had a baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score of 4 or higher. The main modifiable risk factor for prehospital delay was a face‐to‐face visit to the family doctor (adjusted odds ratio, 4.19; 95% CI , 1.85–9.46). Despite transport by emergency medical services being associated with less prehospital delay (adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; 95% CI , 0.24–0.71), a minority of patients (39%) who first called their family doctor were transported by emergency medical services to the hospital. The second risk factor was lack of awareness of stroke symptoms (adjusted odds ratio, 4.14; 95% CI , 2.36–7.24). Conclusions Almost 1 in 3 patients with a diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed ischemic stroke first called the family doctor practice. Face‐to‐face visits to the family doctor quadrupled the odds of prehospital delay. Efforts to reduce prehospital delay should address family doctors and their staffs as important partners in the prehospital pathway. Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .
