Abstrakt: Background: Mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusions. Racial differences in outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke have not been extensively studied. We evaluate the real-world evidence for differences between races in the outcomes of thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions using the NeuroVascular Quality Initiative-Quality Outcomes Database (NVQI-QOD).
Methods: Data from the NVQI-QOD acute ischemic stroke registry were analyzed and compared for racial differences in outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in 4507 patients from 28 US centers (17 states) between January 2014 and April 2021. Race was dichotomized into non-Hispanic White (NHW, n=3649) and non-Hispanic Black (NHB, n=858). We performed 1:1 propensity score matching resulting in a subsample of matched groups (n=761 each for NHB and NHW) to compare study endpoints using Welch's two-sided t-tests and Χ 2 test for continuous and categorical outcomes, respectively.
Results: Prior to matching, NHW and NHB patients significantly differed in age, comorbidities, medication use, smoking status, and presenting stroke severity. No significant difference in functional outcomes or mortality, at discharge or follow-up, were revealed. NHB patients had higher average postprocedure length of stay than NHW patients, which persisted following matching (11.2 vs 9.1 days, P=0.004).
Conclusion: Evidence from the NVQI-QOD acute ischemic stroke registry showed that outcome metrics, such as modified Rankin Scale score and mortality, did not differ significantly between racial groups; however, disparity between NHW and NHB patients in postprocedure length of stay following mechanical thrombectomy was revealed.
