Does fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Hyperintensity be Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation following Reperfusion Therapy?
In patients in the acute stage of stroke, an early FLAIR change is associated with the risk of HT following reperfusion therapy with a highly matched geographic relationship and common risk factors. Thus, identification of FLAIR change may be a useful surrogate marker to assess the likelihood of subsequent HT in patients treated with reperfusion therapy.
In comparison with other hospitals, including GSR hospitals, TR hospitals have lower morbidity and mortality. These results support using hospitals with a TR as an independent prognostic indicator of outcomes in pulmonary resections.
