| Core Tip |
In the emergency department, basilar artery occlusion (BAO) stroke is always severe, devastating, and difficult to diagnose. And it is more difficult to determine the further treatment, thrombectomy or not? We perform a retrospective study to investigate the outcome predictors of BAO. Our study showed that initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was the strongest predictor to the 90 d functional outcome. And we found a best cut-off value of NIHSS 30. That is, the score higher than 30 always relate to poor outcome, even received thrombectomy. We suggest that BAO patients with NIHSS higher than 30 may not benefit from thrombectomy treatment. |
