Abstract TP216: Sex-Based Differences in Endovascular Thrombectomy Outcomes for Large Ischemic Stroke: <i>A SELECT2 Subanalysis</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrated better functional outcomes with endovascular therapy (EVT). Potential heterogeneity in EVT treatment effect by sex is an important question as several social and biological factors are shown to differentially affect stroke outcomes between men and women. We aimed to evaluate if clinical outcomes and thrombectomy treatment effect differed by sex among patients with large ischemic stroke. Methods: In the SELECT2 RCT, baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between men and women. The primary outcome was a shift in modified Rankin Scale score, with functional independence (mRS 0-2), independent ambulation (mRS 0-3) and symptomatic ICH as secondary outcomes. Effect modification was examined using multiplicative sex-by-treatment interaction term. Additionally, repeated measure mixed effect models were used to evaluate if recovery in functional status differed by sex at discharge/ 5 to7-day, 30-day, and 90-day follow-up. Results: Of 352 enrolled patients, 71/145 (49%) of women and 109/207 (53%) of men underwent EVT. EVT was uniformly associated with better functional outcomes without evidence of treatment effect modification [Men - aGenOR: 1.66(1.24-2.23) vs women - aGenOR: 1.73(1.22-2.45), p-int: 0.94], functional independence [men - aRR: 1.99(0.99-4.02) vs women - aRR: 5.04(1.59-16.02), p-int: 0.20] and independent ambulation [men - aRR: 1.98(1.29-3.03) vs women - aRR: 2.44(1.40-4.24), p-int: 0.67]. There were no significant differences between the two cohorts’ recovery at discharge/5 to 7-day, 30-day, and 90-day follow-up (figure). Conclusions: EVT was associated with higher rates of functional independence and independent ambulation in both men and women, without significant heterogeneity in treatment effect or recovery arc between discharge and 90-day follow-up.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
