Location-Specific ASPECTS Paradigm in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated an unequal impact of some ASPECTS subregions in predicting outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Stroke laterality, imaging technique, and interventional technique subgroup analyses showed no differences among ASPECTS regions in predicting outcome. Investigation in larger cohorts is required to assess the association of ASPECTS with acute ischemic stroke outcome.
