Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of endovascular treatment for in-hospital stroke remains debatable. We aimed to compare the outcomes between patients with in-hospital stroke and community-onset stroke who received endovascular treatment. METHODS This prospective registry-based cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent endovascular treatment from January 2013 to December 2022 and were registered in the Selection Criteria in Endovascular Thrombectomy and Thrombolytic Therapy study and Yonsei Stroke Cohort. Functional outcomes at day 90, radiological outcomes, and safety outcomes were compared between the in-hospital and community-onset groups using logistic regression and propensity score-matched analysis. RESULTS Of 1,219 patients who underwent endovascular treatment, 117 (9.6%) had in-hospital stroke. Patients with in-hospital onset were more likely to have a pre-stroke disability and active cancer than those with community-onset. The interval from the last known well to puncture was shorter in the in-hospital group than in the community-onset group (155 vs. 355 min, p<0.001). No significant differences in successful recanalization or safety outcomes were observed between the groups; however, the in-hospital group exhibited worse functional outcomes and higher mortality at day 90 than the community-onset group (all p<0.05). After propensity score matching including baseline characteristics, functional outcomes after endovascular treatment did not differ between the groups (OR: 1.19, 95% CI 0.78-1.83, p=0.4). Safety outcomes did not significantly differ between the groups. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment for eligible patients with in-hospital stroke. Our results will help physicians in making decisions when planning treatment and counseling caregivers or patients.

Leitner MA, Hubert GJ, Paternoster L, Leitner MI, Rémi JM, Trumm C, Haberl RL, Hubert ND. Clinical outcome of rural in-hospital-stroke patients after interhospital transfer for endovascular therapy within a telemedical stroke network in Germany: a registry-based observational study. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e071975. [PMID: 38238050 PMCID: PMC10806718 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-071975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little is known about in-hospital-stroke (IHS) patients with large vessel occlusion and subsequent transfer to referral centres for endovascular therapy (EVT). However, this subgroup is highly relevant given the substantial amount of IHS, the ongoing trend towards greater use of EVT and lack of EVT possibilities in rural hospitals. The study objective is to explore the clinical outcomes of this vulnerable patient group, given that both IHS and interhospital transfer are associated with worse clinical outcomes due to a higher proportion of pre-existing conditions and substantial time delays during transfer. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospectively collected data of patients receiving EVT after interhospital transfer from 14 rural hospitals of the Telemedical Stroke Network in Southeast Bavaria (TEMPiS) between February 2018 and July 2020 was analysed. PARTICIPANTS 49 IHS and 274 out-of-hospital-stroke (OHS) patients were included. OUTCOME MEASURES Baseline characteristics, treatment times and outcomes were compared between IHS and OHS. The primary endpoint was a 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS). RESULTS In IHS patients, atrial fibrillation (55.3% vs 35.9%, p=0.012), diabetes (36.2% vs 21.1%, p=0.024) and use of oral anticoagulants (44.7% vs 20.8%, p<0.001) were more frequent. Stroke severity was similar in both groups. Treatment times from symptom onset to first brain imaging, therapy decision or EVT were shorter for IHS patients. IHS patients displayed worse clinical outcomes: 59.2% of IHS patients died within 3 months compared with 28.5% of OHS patients (p<0.001). They were less likely to achieve moderate outcomes (mRS 0-3) 3 months after stroke (20.4% vs 39.8%, p=0.010). After controlling for possible confounding variables, IHS was associated with worse clinical outcomes (adjusted OR 3.04 (95% CI 1.57 to 6.04), p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The mortality of IHS patients after interhospital transfer and EVT was high and functional outcomes were worse compared with those of OHS patients. Further research is needed to ascertain whether IHS patients benefit from this therapeutic approach. A more careful selection of IHS patients for transfer and means to enable faster treatment should be considered. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04270513; Post-results.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for In-Hospital Onset Stroke: A Comparative Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Stroke 2024; 26:41-53. [PMID: 38186183 PMCID: PMC10850456 DOI: 10.5853/jos.2023.01613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In-hospital onset stroke (IHOS) accounts for a significant proportion of large vessel occlusion acute ischemic strokes, leading to worse outcomes due to delays in evaluation and treatment. Limited data is available on the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy in IHOS patients. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy for patients with IHOS and compare the outcomes with those of community-onset strokes (COS). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following established guidelines, by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases up to April 11, 2023. Eligible studies reporting outcomes of interest were included, and relevant data was extracted and analyzed using Stata software version 17.0. RESULTS In a meta-analysis of nine studies, comprising 540 cases of IHOS and 5,744 cases of COS, IHOS cases had a significantly lower rate of good functional outcomes on follow-up (35.46% vs. 40.74%, P<0.01) and a higher follow-up mortality rate (26.29% vs. 18.08%, P<0.01) compared to COS patients. Both groups had comparable successful recanalization rates (IHOS: 79.32% vs. COS: 81.44%, P=0.11), incidence rates of periprocedural complications (IHOS: 15.10%, COS: 12.96%, P=0.78), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (IHOS: 6.24%, COS: 6.88%, P=0.67). It is worth noting that much of the observed effect size for mortality and good functional outcomes on follow-up was derived from only one and two studies, respectively. CONCLUSION While the current literature suggests that mechanical thrombectomy is a safe and effective treatment for IHOS, further research is necessary to comprehensively evaluate its impact, particularly during follow-up.

Abstract
Objective To elucidate the current state of in-hospital acute ischemic stroke under the introduction of acute-phase mechanical thrombectomy. Methods The study included 18 consecutive patients with in-hospital cerebral infarction who underwent thrombectomy between April 2014 and March 2020 at St. Marianna University School of Medicine Yokohama City Seibu Hospital. We analyzed the primary disease, department responsible for treatment, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores before onset and on discharge, status of onset, treatment course, and so on. Results The mean age was 79.9 (66-93) years. There were nine females. The admission methods included scheduled admission in 5 patients and non-scheduled admission in 13 patients. The primary diseases consisted of malignant tumors in five patients and heart disease in four patients. The departments responsible for treatment consisted of the Department of Digestive Surgery for six patients and Department of Cardiology for three patients. The mRS score before admission was evaluated as 0-2 in 15 patients and 3-5 in 3 patients. The embolism was evaluated as cardiogenic in 14 patients. Antithrombotic therapy was discontinued before the onset of cerebral infarction in three patients. The mean interval from onset or last well known (LWK) until CT/MRI and puncture was 88.4 and 157.6 minutes. The median Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS; minimum-maximum) was 8 (2-10). Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) was administered to five patients. Concerning the degree of recanalization, the thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) grade was evaluated as 1 to 2a in 2 patients and 2b to 3 in 16. In the latter, the mean interval from onset or final onset-free confirmation until recanalization was 197.7 minutes. mRS score on discharge was evaluated as 0-2 in four patients, 3-5 in nine, and 6 in five patients. The mortality was related to a primary disease requiring admission in three patients. Conclusion In-hospital onset cerebral infarction was markedly influenced by the primary disease requiring admission. Even when favorable recanalization was achieved, the number of patients with a favorable outcome was small.
