Patterns and Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy Among Patients Over Age 80 Years: The Florida Stroke Registry.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOlder patients (≥80 years of age) were under-represented in randomized trials of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). In the large Florida Stroke Registry (FSR), we aimed to evaluate the characteristics of the older patients receiving EVT in routine practice and to study the impact of age on EVT outcomes. METHODS AND
resultsData prospectively collected from Get With The Guidelines-Stroke hospitals in the FSR from January 2010 to December 2022 were analyzed for EVT outcomes. Among patients receiving EVT, characteristics associated with age ≥80 years and the impact of age on EVT outcomes of discharge directly to home or acute inpatient rehabilitation, and independent ambulation at discharge were studied using multivariable analysis with generalized estimating equations. Among 20 004 EVT FSR patients (mean age 71±15, 50% women), 29% were ≥80 years of age. In multivariable analysis, older patients with EVT had a similar rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and in hospital mortality but were less likely to achieve independent ambulation at discharge (odds ratio [OR]: 0.44 [95% CI, 0.39-0.49]), be discharged directly home (OR: 0.46 [95% CI, 0.42-0.51]) or to a rehabilitation facility (OR: 0.68 [95% CI, 0.61-0.75]).
conclusionsIn routine practice, close to 30% of EVT treated stroke patients are over the age of 80 years. Our data shows that EVT is safe in this population; however, age remains an independent predictor of poor discharge outcomes post EVT.
