Medical complications during interhospital transfer for thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Introduction: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and large-vessel occlusion are frequently transferred by emergency physicians (EPs) from primary to comprehensive stroke centers (CSC) for thrombectomy, particular when thrombolysed. Data on complications during such transfers are highly limited.
Patients and methods: Consecutive AIS patients transferred between 01/2015 and 10/2021 to our CSC were included. Associations of major (MACO) and minor (MICO) complications with clinical and imaging data were assessed.
Results: In total, 985 patients were included in the analysis (58.5% thrombolysed). MACO developed in 1.6%, MICO in 14.6%. Compared to patients without complications (NOCO), patients with MACO did not differ in terms of demographics, cerebrovascular risk factors, or site of vessel occlusion. They had more severe strokes (p = 0.026), neurological worsening was more severe (p = 0.008), and transport duration was longer (p = 0.050) but geographical distances did not differ. Thrombolysed patients had any complication more often than patients without thrombolysis (20.3% vs 10.5%; p< 0.001); however, this finding was driven by patients with MICO (p< 0.001) only (MACO: p = 0.804). No associations were observed between stroke severity and complications in either thrombolysed or nonthrombolysed patients. Neurological deterioration during transfer was observed in 21.2%, but multivariate analysis revealed no association with thrombolysis (OR 0.962; 95%CI 0.670-1.380, p = 0.832). Asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was present in 1.1%, symptomatic in 0.1%.
Discussion and conclusion: In this large cohort, no patient-specific factor increasing the risk of complications during interhospital transfer was identified. Specifically, our results do not indicate that thrombolysis increases MACO. Hence, interhospital transfer without EPs appears reasonable in most patients.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 2016 the European Stroke Journal (ESJ) is the official journal of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), a professional non-profit organization with over 1,400 individual members, and affiliations to numerous related national and international societies. ESJ covers clinical stroke research from all fields, including clinical trials, epidemiology, primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, acute and post-acute management, guidelines, translation of experimental findings into clinical practice, rehabilitation, organisation of stroke care, and societal impact. It is open to authors from all relevant medical and health professions. Article types include review articles, original research, protocols, guidelines, editorials and letters to the Editor. Through ESJ, authors and researchers have gained a new platform for the rapid and professional publication of peer reviewed scientific material of the highest standards; publication in ESJ is highly competitive. The journal and its editorial team has developed excellent cooperation with sister organisations such as the World Stroke Organisation and the International Journal of Stroke, and the American Heart Organization/American Stroke Association and the journal Stroke. ESJ is fully peer-reviewed and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Issues are published 4 times a year (March, June, September and December) and articles are published OnlineFirst prior to issue publication.
