Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of two NCCT biomarkers in predicting disability outcomes after EVT for LIC patients.
Evaluated two NCCT biomarkers: Net Water Uptake (NWU) and Visual Hypodensity Score (VHS).
Focused on patients with large infarct core undergoing endovascular therapy.
Used predictive analysis of clinical outcomes based on biomarker scores.
NWU and VHS significantly predicted disability outcomes in LIC patients post-EVT.
Higher NWU values correlated with better clinical outcomes after therapy.
Analysis demonstrated that these biomarkers could be beneficial for patient assessment in clinical practice.

Abstract

To evaluate two novel non-contrast CT (NCCT) biomarkers—Net Water Uptake (NWU) and the Visual Hypodensity Score (VHS)—for predicting disability outcomes for patients with large infarct core (LIC) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT).
