The impact of comorbidity burden on outcomes following endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: A nationwide prospective observational study
Severe and very severe comorbidity burden are increasingly common among EVT-treated patients in routine healthcare and are linked to poorer outcomes. However, our results suggest that successful EVT is associated with functional independency, also in patients with severe and very severe comorbidity burden.
