👉 RCT of EVT vs med therapy alone pts w ICA or MCA occlusions + ASPECTS 3-5
👉 EVT increased independent pts (90d mRS 0-3) by 2.43x
👉 Any ICH w/in 48h observed more frequently in EVT group, symptomatic ICH not different
Studies show the increasing prevalence of sedentary behavior is associated with harmful health effects. In a FIT Insights blog, Lina Ya'qoub looks at how providers & patients can fight the endemic condition.
