BACKGROUND: Whether the presence of @entity432 ( @entity432 ) correlates with clot characteristics and response to @entity715 ( @entity715 ) remains to be determined. Given that the existent literature was mainly from the Western nations, the current study aimed to examine the relationships among @entity432 , clot characteristics, and outcome of @entity715 in a Han Chinese sample in Taiwan. The specific objectives are (1) to correlate @entity432 with clot characteristics and (2) to explore relationships between @entity432 and effectiveness/complication of @entity715 . METHODS: We enrolled 75 @entity1 treated with @entity715 following acute large arterial @entity1188 . All @entity1 had a baseline brain computed tomography and a follow-up image at 24 hours after thrombolysis. Correlations were explored between @entity432 and clot characteristics. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to examine the relationships between @entity432 and response to @entity715 at 24 hours, including early improvement and all forms of @entity1779 ( @entity1779 ). RESULTS: In this Han Chinese sample in Taiwan, 50.7% of the @entity1 had @entity432 and 64% had early improvements following @entity715 . Those with @entity432 tended to have clots lodging at main trunks of cerebral arteries but no significant associations were found between @entity432 and @entity64 etiology. In multivariable logistic regressions, @entity432 predicted neither early improvement nor @entity1779 complication. CONCLUSIONS: Instead of clot etiology, we found that it might be clot location that correlated with @entity432 . @entity432 was not associated with early improvement or @entity1779 complication after @entity715 in this Han Chinese sample. We also showed that some other @entity1 characteristics were likely to influence outcomes of @entity715 , which warrant clinical attention.
