Clinical Scorecard: Assessment of Quantitative Multi-Slice Spiral CT Perfusion Metrics as Indicators of Collateral Circulation and 90-Day Functional Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionAcute Ischemic Stroke
Key MechanismsCollateral circulation and perfusion metrics
Target PopulationPatients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing perfusion imaging
Care SettingEmergency department and neurology department

Key Highlights

  • Robust collateral circulation correlates with better perfusion metrics and outcomes.
  • Hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) shows strong diagnostic performance for predicting outcomes.
  • Combined HIR, relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and Tmax model achieves high predictive accuracy.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Utilize multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging within 24 hours of symptom onset.

Management

  • Assess collateral circulation to inform treatment decisions, especially for endovascular thrombectomy.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Evaluate 90-day functional outcomes using the modified Rankin Scale.

Risks

  • Consider the risk of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with poor collateral flow.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients aged ≥ 18 years with clinical AIS diagnosis and confirmed intracranial artery occlusion.

Patients with robust collaterals experience less infarct core expansion and better outcomes.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Incorporate quantitative CTP parameters in acute stroke management.
  • Use HIR as a functional marker of collateral efficiency.
