Skeletal muscle quantity predicts short-term outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy for acute stroke due to large-vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation
This study highlights the role of skeletal muscle mass as an independent predictor of short-term prognosis after EVT. BIA-based assessments offer a novel approach to evaluating treatment responsiveness. Enhancing skeletal muscle mass may represent a modifiable factor to improve EVT outcomes, emphasizing the need for further research to validate these findings and explore long-term effects.
