Multivariate analyses of association between sex and independence at 90 days among patients that received mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke
| 90-day mRS | P value | |
| Unadjusted | 0.42 (0.25–0.71) | 0.001 |
| Model 1: Adjusted for demographics, pre-stroke functional status, stroke severity* | 0.50 (0.25–1.00) | 0.05 |
| Model 2: Adjusted for model 1+risk factors/co morbidities+time from symptom onset to thrombectomy† | 0.37 (0.16–0.85) | 0.02 |
| Model 3: Adjusted for model 2+TICI score (2B or more)+IV tPA‡ | 0.37 (0.16–0.87) | 0.02 |
*Model 1 included sex, age (standardized), race, marital status, pre-stroke functional status, and NIHSS.
†Model 2 included all variables in Model 1 with addition of co-morbidities (atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease/myocardial infarction) and time from symptom onset to start of thrombectomy (standardized).
‡Model 3 included all variables in Model t2 with addition of treatment with intravenous tPA and vessel recanalization as defined by TICI 2b or better. For standardized variables, aOR represents the change in odds of having independent functional status at 90 days' post-stroke for every one SD increase in the variable of interest.
