However, there is limited research examining the relationship between SIRI and 90-day functional outcome in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). This study aimed to investigate the potential of SIRI as an innovative, inflammation-based predictor of 90-day functional outcome.Methods: This retrospective cohort study consecutively recruited 604 Chinese patients with diagnosed ALVOS who underwent MT at the First College of Clinical Medical Science of China Three Gorges University between July 2017 and April 2023. Comprehensive data, including baseline demographic and clinical characteristics, were systematically extracted from electronic medical records. Poor functional outcome at 90 days was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 3. We employed logistic regression models, curve fitting, sensitivity analyses, subgroup analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to validate the association between SIRI and poor outcome, as well as to assess the predictive efficacy.Results: Final analysis included 604 ALVOS subjects of whom 54.3% experienced poor functional outcome at 90 days. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for potential confounders, SIRI remained significantly associated with an elevated risk of poor outcomes (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.08– 1.28, P 0.05), However, atrial fibrillation demonstrated a significant interaction (all P for interaction = 0.001).Conclusion: SIRI shows promise as a novel prognostic marker for 90-day functional outcome in patients with ALVOS undergoing MT. The identified nonlinear relationship and inflection point may provide valuable insights for risk stratification and clinical decision-making in this specific patient population.Keywords: systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS), functional outcome, mechanical thrombectomy (MT)
