Background: The pretreatment CT perfusion (CTP) marker the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) Methods: In this retrospective evaluation of our prospectively collected database, we included acute stroke patients triaged by multimodal CT imaging, including CT angiography and perfusion imaging, with confirmed anterior circulation large vessel occlusion between 1 September 2017 and 1 October 2023. Group differences were assessed using the Student’s t test, Mann–Whitney U test and Chi-Square test. Spearman’s rank correlation and logistic regression analyses were used to assess associations between rCBV Results: In total, 222 patients (median age: 69 years, 56.3% female) met our inclusion criteria. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, taking into account age, sex, race, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, the admission National Institute of Health stroke scale, the premorbid modified Rankin score, the Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS), and segment occlusion, the rCBV p Conclusion: The rCBV < 42% lesion volume is independently associated with the DSA CS.
