Abstract TP197: Impact of First-Pass Effect on Clinical Outcomes in Stroke Patients With Low Aspects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: The first-pass effect (FPE), defined as a complete or near-complete recanalization after a single pass of a mechanical thrombectomy (MT) device, has been linked to favorable clinical outcomes. However, its effectiveness in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with low ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 2-5) has not been validated. Method: We utilized data from STAR, a multicenter database of 84 centers worldwide, to conduct a retrospective, cohort study on patients who underwent MT for internal carotid artery (ICA) or M1 occlusion presenting with ASPECTS 2-5. We compared the outcomes of patients who achieved FPE (successful recanalization with an mTICI score of 2c or higher in one pass) to those who did not. The primary outcome was a 90-day favorable outcome, defined as mRS 0-3. Secondary outcomes included any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), symptomatic ICH (sICH), and 90-day mortality. Results: Out of 10,229 patients in the STAR database, 250 patients met our inclusion criteria. Among those, 60 (24%) achieved FPE. There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline, imaging, and procedural characteristics. FPE was significantly associated with higher odds of 90-day mRS 0-3 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04 - 4.20; P-value: 0.04) and lower rates of ICH (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.25 - 0.93, P-value: 0.03). However, there was no significant difference in sICH rates (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.31 - 2.04, P-value: 0.70). Conclusion: Achieving FPE in AIS stroke patients with low ASPECTS was associated with significantly higher rates of good functional outcomes and lower rates of ICH.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
