Health-related quality of life after thrombectomy in young-onset versus older stroke patients: a multicenter analysis

Conclusions
Young-onset stroke patients have a better HRQoL after EVT than older patients. Their higher HRQoL is mainly explained by less physical disability assessed by mRS. Depressive symptoms should be actively assessed and targeted in rehabilitation therapies of young-onset stroke patients to improve quality of life after stroke.
