Risk factors and functional outcome were associated with hemorrhagic transformation after mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher NIHSS score was associated with HI, PH and sICH. History of coronary heart was associated with HI and sICH. Use of intravenous thrombolysis was associated with HI. History of oral anti-platelet and/or anti-coagulation drugs was associated with PH. Increased systolic blood pressure was associated with sICH. PHs was remarkablely associated with mortality at 90 days. PMID: 33320467 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
