Ischemic Lesion Net Water Uptake for the Prediction of Very Poor Functional Outcomes at 90 Days

Elevated ischemic lesion NWU (≥11.5%) on admission NCCT was strongly associated with very poor functional outcomes at 90 days in AIS-LVO patients with large baseline infarcts treated by EVT. NWU assessment may serve as a valuable imaging biomarker for identifying patients who are likely to require constant care or die despite EVT.
