摘要

Purpose

While CT perfusion (CTP) is the current standard for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) selection in extended time windows with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO-AIS), the added prognostic value of CTP over non-contrast CT (NCCT)-based models remains debated, particularly when combined with clinical variables.

Methods

In this dual-center retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 216 consecutive anterior circulation LVO-AIS patients undergoing EVT between May 2021 and March 2024. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed on both NCCT-derived and CTP-derived imaging parameters alongside clinical variables, with 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0–2) as primary endpoint. The ROC curves of the two models were computed using 5-fold cross-validation, and differences in the area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated using DeLong’s test.

Results

Functional independence (mRS 0–2) was achieved in 42.6% (92/216) of the patients. The NCCT-clinical model incorporated ASPECTS, baseline NIHSS and diabetes status, and the CTP-clinical model incorporated ischemic core volume, baseline NIHSS and diabetes status. The NCCT-clinical model demonstrated AUC of 0.819 and the CTP-clinical model 0.834. The difference of AUC showed no statistical significance​ between NCCT-clinical model and the CTP-clinical model (ΔAUC = 0.015, P = 0.964). The NCCT-clinic model demonstrated comparable performance to CTP-clinic model, including accuracy (74.0% vs. 75.8%), sensitivity (80.5% vs. 82.1%) and specificity (65.7% vs. 67.7%).

Conclusion

The NCCT-clinical model achieved comparable ability to predict prognosis compared to the CTP-clinical model in extended time windows with LVO-AIS.
