Core Tip
Core Tip: High-density areas (HDAs) have great potential in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This prospective study focused on the association of intracranial HDAs with neurological function and mental health after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for AIS. Through comprehensive evaluation of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, the 3-month modified Rankin Scale, self-rating depression scale, and self-rating anxiety scale scores, our study demonstrated that intracranial HDAs on computed tomography images predict poor prognosis and severe depressive and anxiety symptoms.
