The primary outcome was good functional outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2. follow-up infarct volume, core expansion and penumbral salvage volumes were secondary outcomes. Of 572 anterior circulation EVT patients, CTP source image data required to generate objective maps were available in 170, and a Target Mismatch was present in 151 (89%). The rate of 90-day good functional outcome was similar between Target Mismatch (53%) and Large Core Non-Mismatch groups (46%, p = 0.629). Median follow-up infarct volume in the Large Core Non-Mismatch group (104ml [IQR 25ml-189ml]) was larger than that in the Target Mismatch patients (16ml [8ml-47ml], p<0.001). Despite a lack of formal CTP selection criteria, the majority of patients treated at our centres had a Target Mismatch. Patients without Target Mismatch had larger follow-up infarct volumes, but the functional recovery rate was similar to that in Target Mismatch patients. Infarct volumes should be included as objective assessment criteria in the evaluation of the efficacy of EVT in non-Target Mismatch patients.]]> Tue 20 Feb 2024 16:05:37 AEDT ]]> Multimodal computed tomography in patient selection for acute ischemic stroke intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35875 Tue 17 Dec 2019 14:15:42 AEDT ]]> Perfusion Computed Tomography Accurately Quantifies Collateral Flow After Acute Ischemic Stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41993 6 s (sensitivity, 88%; specificity, 92%). The computed tomographic perfusion collateral index, defined by the ratio of delay time >6 s/delay time >2 s volume, showed a significant correlation with dynamic computed tomographic angiography collateral scores (correlation coefficient, 0.62; P<0.001), with an optimal cut point of 31.8% in predicting good collateral status (sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 86%). When predicting good clinical outcome, the delay time collateral index showed a similar predictive power to dynamic computed tomographic angiography collaterals (area under the curve, 0.78 [0.67–0.83] and 0.77 [0.69–0.84], respectively; P<0.001). Conclusions—Computed tomographic perfusion can accurately quantify collateral flow after acute ischemic stroke.]]> Tue 16 Aug 2022 16:37:23 AEST ]]> A modified reach-to-grasp task in a supine position shows coordination between elbow and hand movements after stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37847 Thu 28 Oct 2021 12:36:07 AEDT ]]> Intravenous thrombolysis may not improve clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients without a baseline vessel occlusion https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36439 Thu 27 Jan 2022 15:55:31 AEDT ]]> Expansion co-planning with uncertainties in a coupled energy market https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19528 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:04 AEDT ]]> Risk sharing strategy for minimizing imbalance costs of wind power forecast errors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17440 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:35 AEDT ]]> A novel short-term dispatch scheme for wind farm with battery energy storage system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23459 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:01 AEDT ]]> Dynamic CT but not optimized multiphase CT angiography accurately Iidentifies CT perfusion target mismatch ischemic stroke patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46655 Mon 28 Nov 2022 17:43:31 AEDT ]]> Network reinforcement for grid resiliency under extreme events https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33119 Mon 27 Aug 2018 18:24:19 AEST ]]> Influence of occlusion site and baseline ischemic core on outcome in patients with ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48518 p < 0.001). Vessel occlusion location was not a strong predictor of outcomes compared to baseline ischemic core (area under the curve, mRS 0-1, 0.64 vs 0.83; mRS 0-2, 0.70 vs 0.86, p < 0.001). There was no interaction between occlusion location and ischemic core (interaction coefficient 1.00, p = 0.798). Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients with a distal occlusion have higher rate of excellent and favorable outcome than patients with an M1 occlusion. The baseline ischemic core was shown to be a more powerful predictor of functional outcome than the occlusion location, but the relationship between ischemic core and outcome does not different by occlusion locations.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 17:06:46 AEDT ]]> Association of collateral status and ischemic core growth in patients with acute ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41051 p < 0.001). The relationship of core growth and CTP collateral index was validated in cohort 2. An increment in collateral index by 1% resulted in an increase of core growth by 0.59 mL/h (coefficient 0.59 [0.48–0.71], p < 0.001) in cohort 2.
