- 56
- Population
- Adults
- Protocol
- QEEG ~24 h after endovascular treatment
Key findings
- 55.4% had futile recanalization at 90 days
- Higher central beta power lowered odds of poor outcome
- Adding beta power raised prediction AUC from 0.557 to 0.719
In 56 stroke patients after clot removal, a short EEG taken about a day later was analysed. Higher central beta power was linked to lower odds of poor outcome despite reopened vessels, and improved prediction over clinical factors.
