Temporal Patterns of Fever Onset as an Indicator of Etiology in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

F Hess, Enayatullah Baki, Julian McGinnis, Tun Wiltgen et autres

Background: Fever occurs frequently in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is associated with worse functional outcomes. Rapid identification of the fever’s cause is crucial for guiding diagnostics and treatment. Data on the distribution of different fever causes in ICH are limited, …

Differentiating central fever from infectious fever in intracerebral haemorrhage

F Hess, Enayatullah Baki, Julian McGinnis, Tun Wiltgen et autres

BACKGROUND: In addition to infectious fever, stroke-related disturbances in thermoregulation, referred to as central fever, are frequently observed in patients with stroke, particularly in those with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Rapid identification of the underlying cause of fever is crucial for treatment decisions. …

Circulating cytokine levels and 5-year vascular recurrence after stroke: A multicenter prospective cohort study

Lanyue Zhang, Mohamad Ali Antabi, Omar El Bounkari, Rong Fang et autres

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Anti-inflammatory therapies are tested in randomized trials for secondary stroke prevention. Detecting inflammatory biomarkers that predict vascular recurrence could optimize patient selection for these trials. METHODS: In a multicenter prospective cohort study, we measured plasma levels of 22 inflammatory …

Risk factors and clinical significance of post‐stroke incident ischemic lesions

Rong Fang, Marco Duering, Felix J. Bode, Sebastian Stösser et autres

INTRODUCTION: While incident ischemic lesions (IILs) are not unusual on follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following stroke, their risk factors and prognostic significance remain unknown. METHODS: In a prospective multicenter study of 503 acute stroke patients, we assessed IILs on registered MRI …

Endovascular thrombectomy for basilar artery occlusion stroke: Analysis of the German Stroke Registry‐Endovascular Treatment

Katharina Feil, Maria Berndt, Silke Wunderlich, Christian Maegerlein et autres

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute ischemic stroke due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO) causes the most severe strokes and has a poor prognosis. Data regarding efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy in BAO are sparse. Therefore, in this study, we performed an analysis of the …

Breaking with a dogma: persisting diffusion restrictions (pDWI) in follow-up after endovascular treatment for stroke

Moritz Roman Hernández Petzsche, Tobias Boeckh‐Behrens, Kathleen Bernkopf, Simone Henze et autres

BACKGROUND: Post-stroke diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal transformation of the infarct core, which results in high apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and variable DWI signal intensity, is completed no later than 1 month after onset of ischemia. We observed frequent exceptions to …

Start, Stop, Continue? The Benefit of Overlapping Intravenous Thrombolysis and Mechanical Thrombectomy

Egon Burian, Dominik Sepp, Manuel Lehm, Kathleen Bernkopf et autres

OBJECTIVE: Here we compare the procedural and clinical outcome of patients undergoing thrombectomy with running thrombolysis to matched controls with completed intravenous therapy and an only marginally overlapping activity. METHODS: Patients from 25 sites in Germany were included, who presented with an …

Cerebral small vessel disease burden and cognitive and functional outcomes after stroke: A multicenter prospective cohort study

Marios K. Georgakis, Rong Fang, Marco Düring, Frank A. Wollenweber et autres

INTRODUCTION: It remains unknown whether the global small vessel disease (SVD) burden predicts post-stroke outcomes. METHODS: In a prospective multicenter study of 666 ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients, we quantified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based SVD markers (lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, microbleeds, perivascular …

Endovascular Treatment of Very Elderly Patients Aged ≥90 With Acute Ischemic Stroke

Lukas Meyer, Maria Eleni Alexandrou, Fabian Flottmann, Milani Deb‐Chatterji et autres

Background Patients aged ≥90 were excluded or under‐represented in past thrombectomy trials; thus, uncertainty remains whether treatment benefits can be expected regardless of age. This study investigates outcome and safety of thrombectomy in nonagenarians to improve decision making in a real‐world setting. …
