Sex differences in outcomes of endovascular therapy for acute vertebrobasilar occlusion: data from ANGEL-ACT Registry

Background Understanding sex disparities in stroke can identify gaps in clinical care. The objective of this study was to investigate whether sex differences could influence clinical outcomes of patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT).

Description
Summary:Background Understanding sex disparities in stroke can identify gaps in clinical care. The objective of this study was to investigate whether sex differences could influence clinical outcomes of patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods Patients were selected from the ANGEL-ACT Registry. The primary outcome was favorable functional outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0–3). Secondary outcomes included 90-day mRS distribution, excellent outcome (mRS 0–1), functional independence (mRS 0–2), early neurological improvement, recanalization, intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality within 90 days. The above outcomes were compared by two adjustment models, including (1) multivariable logistics analysis adjusting for all baseline and procedural variables with a P
