Prediction models for post-thrombectomy brain edema in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionDespite the promising discriminative ability shown by studies on prediction models for post-thrombectomy brain edema in AIS patients, concerns related to a high risk of bias and limited external validation remain. Future research should prioritize the external validation and optimization of these models. There is an urgent need for large-scale, multicenter studies to develop robust, user-friendly models for real-world clinical application.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk, unique Identifier: CRD42022382790.
