Clinical and Neuroimaging Predictors of Posterior Circulation Stroke: A Retrospective Analysis of In-Hospital Features
: In PCS, outcome is primarily influenced by infarct topography and clinical factors rather than LVO status alone. Multiregional involvement and baseline disability are key determinants of prognosis. These findings underscore the need for PCS-specific prognostic models and highlight the importance of detailed imaging assessment beyond vessel occlusion.
