    Abstract: The prediction of long-term outcomes in ischemic stroke patients may be useful in treatment decisions. Machine learning techniques are being increasingly adapted for use in the medical field because of their high accuracy. This study investigated the applicability of machine learning techniques to predict long-term outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. Methods— This was a retrospective study using a prospective cohort that enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score 0, 1, or 2 at 3 months. We developed 3 machine learning models (deep neural network, random forest, and logistic regression) and compared their predictability. To evaluate the accuracy of the machine learning models, we also compared them to the Acute Stroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne (ASTRAL) score. Results— A total of 2604 patients were included in this study, and 2043 (78%) of them had favorable outcomes. The area under the curve for the deep neural network model was significantly higher than that of the ASTRAL score (0.888 versus 0.839; P 〈 0.001), while the areas under the curves of the random forest (0.857; P =0.136) and logistic regression (0.849; P =0.413) models were not significantly higher than that of the ASTRAL score. Using only the 6 variables that are used for the ASTRAL score, the performance of the machine learning models did not significantly differ from that of the ASTRAL score. Conclusions— Machine learning algorithms, particularly the deep neural network, can improve the prediction of long-term outcomes in ischemic stroke patients.

    Abstract: Patients with acute stroke are often accompanied by comorbidities, such as active cancer. However, adequate treatment guidelines are not available for these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between cancer and the outcomes of reperfusion therapy in patients with stroke. Methods: We compared treatment outcomes in patients who underwent reperfusion therapy, using a nationwide reperfusion therapy registry. We divided the patients into 3 groups according to cancer activity: active cancer, nonactive cancer, and without a history of cancer. We investigated reperfusion processes, 24-hour neurological improvement, adverse events, 3-month functional outcome, and 6-month survival and related factors after reperfusion therapy. Results: Among 1338 patients who underwent reperfusion therapy, 62 patients (4.6%) had active cancer, 78 patients (5.8%) had nonactive cancer, and 1198 patients (89.5%) had no history of cancer. Of the enrolled patients, 969 patients received intravenous thrombolysis and 685 patients underwent endovascular treatment (316 patients received combined therapy). Patients with active cancer had more comorbidities and experienced more severe strokes; however, they showed similar 24-hour neurological improvement and adverse events, including cerebral hemorrhage, compared with the other groups. Although the functional outcome at 3 months was poorer than the other groups, 36.4% of patients with active cancer showed functional independence. Additionally, 52.9% of the patients with determined stroke etiology showed functional independence despite active cancer. During the 6-month follow-up, 46.6% of patients with active cancer died, and active cancer was independently associated with poor survival (hazard ratio, 3.973 [95% CI, 2.528–6.245]). Conclusions: In patients with active cancer, reperfusion therapy showed similar adverse events and short-term outcomes to that of other groups. While long-term prognosis was worse in the active cancer group than the nonactive cancer groups, not negligible number of patients had good functional outcomes, especially those with determined stroke mechanisms.

    Abstract: Multiple attempts of thrombectomy have been linked to a higher risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and worsened functional outcomes, potentially influenced by blood pressure (BP) management strategies. Nonetheless, the impact of intensive BP management following successful recanalization through multiple attempts remains uncertain. Aims: This study aimed to investigate whether conventional and intensive BP management differentially affect outcomes according to multiple-attempt recanalization (MAR) and first-attempt recanalization (FAR) groups. Methods: In this secondary analysis of the OPTIMAL-BP trial, which was a comparison of intensive (systolic BP target 〈 140 mm Hg) and conventional (systolic BP target 140-180 mm Hg) BP managements during the 24 hours after successful recanalization, we included intention-to-treat population of the trial. Patients were divided into the MAR and the FAR groups. We examined a potential interaction between the number of thrombectomy attempts (MAR and FAR groups) and the effect of BP managements on clinical and safety outcomes. The primary outcome was functional independence at 3 months. Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage within 36 hours and mortality within 3 months. Results: Of the 305 patients (median 75 years), 102 (33.4%) were in the MAR group and 203 (66.6%) were in the FAR group. The intensive BP management was significantly associated with a lower rate of functional independence in the MAR group (intensive, 32.7% vs. conventional, 54.9%, adjusted OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.90, p = 0.03). In the FAR group, the proportion of patients with functional independence was not significantly different between the BP managements (intensive, 42.5% vs. conventional, 54.2%, adjusted OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.38-1.40). Incidences of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and mortality rates were not significantly different according to the BP managements in both MAR and FAR groups. Conclusions: Among stroke patients who received multiple attempts of thrombectomy, intensive BP management for 24 hours resulted in a reduced chance of functional independence at 3 months and did not reduce symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage following successful reperfusion.

    Abstract: The purpose of the RAFAS (Risk and Benefits of Urgent Rhythm Control of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Acute Stroke) trial was to explore the risks and benefits of early rhythm control in patients with newly documented atrial fibrillation (AF) during an acute ischemic stroke (IS). Method and Results An open‐label, randomized, multicenter trial design was used. If AF was diagnosed, the patients in the early rhythm control group started rhythm control within 2 months after the occurrence of an IS, unlikely the usual care. The primary end points were recurrent IS within 3 and 12 months. The secondary end points were a composite of all deaths, unplanned hospitalizations from any cause, and adverse arrhythmia events. Patients (n=300) with AF and an acute IS (63.0% men, aged 69.6±8.5 years; 51.2% with paroxysmal AF) were randomized 2:1 to early rhythm control (n=194) or usual care (n=106). A total of 273 patients excluding those lost to follow‐up (n=27) were analyzed. The IS recurrences did not differ between the groups within 3 months of the index stroke (2 [1.1%] versus 4 [4.2%] ; hazard ratio [HR], 0.257 [log‐rank P =0.091]) but were significantly lower in the early rhythm control group at 12 months (3 [1.7%] versus 6 [6.3%]; HR, 0.251 [log‐rank P =0.034]). Although the rates of overall mortality, any cause of hospitalizations (25 [14.0%] versus 16 [16.8%]; HR, 0.808 [log‐rank P =0.504]), and arrhythmia‐related adverse events (5 [2.8%] versus 1 [1.1%]; HR, 2.565 [log‐rank P =0.372]) did not differ, the proportion of sustained AF was lower in the early rhythm control group than the usual care group (60 [34.1%] versus 59 [62.8%], P 〈 0.001) in 12 months. Conclusions The early rhythm control strategy of an acute IS decreased the sustained AF and recurrent IS within 12 months without an increase in the composite adverse outcomes.

    Abstract: Introduction: Prediction of outcome in stroke patients can help both physicians and patients in making treatment decisions and managing prognostic expectations. Machine learning techniques are being increasingly used in the field of medical research. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that models developed with machine learning techniques are useful for predicting long-term functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: The model was developed with a prospective cohort of acute ischemic stroke patients. This cohort registers stroke patients who were admitted within 7 days from the onset of symptoms. For this study, we included all patients admitted between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014. We excluded patients with pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 〉 2 or missing 3-month mRS score. Univariate analysis was performed to guide in variable selection for machine learning models. Machine learning models were trained to classify patients likely to have unfavorable outcome, defined as 3-month mRS score 〉 2. Developed models included artificial neural network, random forest, support vector machine, and logistic regression models. Area under the receiver-operated characteristic curve (AUC) was used to compare effectiveness of each model. Google’s TensorFlow and scikit-learn toolkit were used for training of machine learning models. Results: Total of 3,524 patients were admitted during the study period. After excluding 454 patients with unavailable 3-month mRS scores, 60 patients with pre-stroke mRS score 〉 2, and 87 patients with missing laboratory tests or clinical data, 2,923 patients were finally enrolled. Of the 2,923 patients, 695 (24%) patients had unfavorable outcome (mRS 〉 2) at 3 months. The AUC was 0.888 for Artificial neural network model, 0.810 for random forest model, 0.836 for support vector machine model, and 0.842 for logistic regression model. We calculated the AUC of ASTRAL score for reference, which showed 0.839 in our study group. Conclusion: Machine learning models, particularly the artificial neural network model, achieved high accuracy of prediction for functional outcome in stroke. This study showed the feasibility of machine learning approach for predicting outcomes in stroke.

    Abstract: We investigated whether there was an annual change in outcomes in patients who received the thrombolytic therapy or endovascular treatment (EVT) in Korea. This analysis was performed using data from a nationwide multicenter registry for exploring the selection criteria of patients who would benefit from reperfusion therapies in Korea. We compared the annual changes in the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at discharge and after 90 days and the achievement of successful recanalization from 2012 to 2017. We also investigated the determinants of favorable functional outcomes. Among 1230 included patients, the improvement of functional outcome at discharge after reperfusion therapy was noted as the calendar year increased (p 〈 0.001). The proportion of patients who were discharged to home significantly increased (from 45.6% in 2012 to 58.5% in 2017) (p 〈 0.001). The successful recanalization rate increased over time from 78.6% in 2012 to 85.1% in 2017 (p = 0.006). Time from door to initiation of reperfusion therapy decreased over the years (p 〈 0.05). These secular trends of improvements were also observed in 1203 patients with available mRS data at 90 days (p 〈 0.05). Functional outcome was associated with the calendar year, age, initial stroke severity, diabetes, preadmission disability, intervals from door to reperfusion therapy, and achievement of successful recanalization. This study demonstrated the secular trends of improvement in functional outcome and successful recanalization rate in patients who received reperfusion therapy in Korea.

    Abstract: Introduction: The presence of spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is associated with increased thrombogenecity and a risk factor of thromboembolism. The increased thrombogenecity in SEC may produce larger intracardiac thrombi, which result in larger cerebral infarctions and severe stroke. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that infarction volume will be larger in stroke patients with SEC than in those without SEC. Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis using a prospective cohort of acute ischemic stroke. This study included patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who underwent TEE and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2014. The volume of cerebral infarction on DWI was measured semi-automatically using 3-dimensional software by an investigator who was blinded to clinical information. The infarction volume was compared between patients with SEC and those without. Results: Of 4252 considered patients, 889 patients had NVAF. After excluding 449 patients without TEE and 39 patients without DWI, 401 patients were included for analysis. Of them, SEC was found in 181 patients (45.1%, 82 mild, 35 moderate, and 64 severe SEC). Infarction volume was larger for the patients with SEC than those without SEC (median [interquartile range], 7226.8 mm 3 [1218.1-28804.6] vs. 4756.8 mm 3 [672.8-14887.8], p=0.015). Infarction volume also increased with SEC severity (p=0.006). Initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale scores were higher for the patients with SEC than those without SEC (median [interquartile range] , 5.0 [2.0-12.0] vs. 3.0 [1.0-8.0] . p=0.008). On multivariate analysis, infarction volume was independently associated with the presence of SEC (p=0.014). Conclusion: Among stroke patients with NVAF, those with co-existing SEC had larger cerebral infarction, which may account for severe stroke. This may be related with increased thrombogenecity in patients with SEC.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose We aimed to develop a model predicting early recanalization after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) treatment in large-vessel occlusion.Methods Using data from two different multicenter prospective cohorts, we determined the factors associated with early recanalization immediately after t-PA in stroke patients with large-vessel occlusion, and developed and validated a prediction model for early recanalization. Clot volume was semiautomatically measured on thin-section computed tomography using software, and the degree of collaterals was determined using the Tan score. Follow-up angiographic studies were performed immediately after t-PA treatment to assess early recanalization.Results Early recanalization, assessed 61.0±44.7 minutes after t-PA bolus, was achieved in 15.5% (15/97) in the derivation cohort and in 10.5% (8/76) in the validation cohort. Clot volume (odds ratio [OR], 0.979; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 0.961 to 0.997; P=0.020) and good collaterals (OR, 6.129; 95% CI, 1.592 to 23.594; P=0.008) were significant factors associated with early recanalization. The area under the curve (AUC) of the model including clot volume was 0.819 (95% CI, 0.720 to 0.917) and 0.842 (95% CI, 0.746 to 0.938) in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. The AUC improved when good collaterals were added (derivation cohort: AUC, 0.876; 95% CI, 0.802 to 0.950; P=0.164; validation cohort: AUC, 0.949; 95% CI, 0.886 to 1.000; P=0.036). The integrated discrimination improvement also showed significantly improved prediction (0.097; 95% CI, 0.009 to 0.185; P=0.032).Conclusions The model using clot volume and collaterals predicted early recanalization after intravenous t-PA and had a high performance. This model may aid in determining the recanalization treatment strategy in stroke patients with large-vessel occlusion.
