Postinterventional Petechial Hemorrhage Associated With Poor Functional Outcome After Successful Recanalization Following Endovascular Therapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Endovascular therapy (EVT) has emerged as the standard for treating patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between early petechial hemorrhage and patient outcomes after successful EVT of anterior circulation. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed multicenter data from 316 patients who underwent EVT for acute occlusion of anterior circulation. Patients were divided into petechial hemorrhage group and without hemorrhage group based on post-EVT head imaging. Logistical regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors for petechial hemorrhage, and for petechial hemorrhage as a predictor of early neurological improvement, favorable outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale 0-2), and 90-day mortality, with adjustment for all factors significantly associated with these endpoints in univariate regression to P < .10. RESULTS: Of 316 included patients with successful EVT, 49 (15.50%) had petechial hemorrhage. The petechial hemorrhage group showed less early neurological improvement (36.73% compared with 53.56%, P = .030), less favorable outcomes at 90 days (32.65% compared with 61.80%, P < .001, absolute risk difference 29.15%), and higher mortality at 90 days (28.57% compared with 10.49%, P = .001) then the group without hemorrhage. Petechial hemorrhage was inversely associated with favorable 90-day outcome (odds ratio = 0.415, 95% CI 0.206-0.835) and higher mortality rate at 90 days (odds ratio = 2.537, 95% CI 1.142-5.635) in multivariable regression but was not independently associated with early neurological improvement. CONCLUSION: In patients with anterior large vessel occlusion who underwent successful EVT, petechial hemorrhage was associated with poor functional outcome and 90-day mortality when adjusted for complete recanalization, pre-EVT National Institute of Health Stroke Scale/Score, and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score. Despite the relatively lower rate of a favorable 90-day outcome with petechial hemorrhage compared with no petechial hemorrhage, the absolute rate of a favorable outcome exceeds the natural history of medical management for this condition.

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.
