To evaluate the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index as a prognostic marker for decompressive surgery necessity following mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.
Analysis of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke
Assessment of the fibrosis-4 index
Determination of outcomes related to decompressive surgery requirements
FIB-4 index significantly predicts the need for decompressive surgery
Independent prognostic value identified for patients post-mechanical thrombectomy
Abstract
The FIB-4 index emerged as a significant and independent prognostic marker for identifying patients at risk of requiring decompressive surgery following MT for acute ischemic stroke.
