About this trial
Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM), which reflects microglia activation, has been reported closely associated with neuronal injury and neuroinflammation. This study is to investigatethe prognostic roles of sTREM (sTREM1 and sTREM2) in patients with ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients > 18 years old.
Patients with acute large vessel occlusion within 24 hours of onset who will receive endovascular treatment.
Disqualifiers
Impossibility of getting a blood sample.
Impossibility of performing the test (Invalid results).
Refusal to provide the informed consent by the patient/relative.
Trial population
There will be 200 patients with stroke who underwent EVT (Endovascular Therapy), 50 patients with non--EVT stroke and 50 non--stroke controls.

Trial groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dynamic changes in plasma levels of sTREM-1 and sTREM-2 following Endovascular Therapy
Plasma levels of sTREM-1 and sTREM-2 will be quantified using the ELISA method.
Secondary outcomes
favourable functional outcome, defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2
mRS ranges from 0-6, high score means poor outcome
excellent functional outcome, defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1
mRS ranges from 0-6, high score means poor outcome
early neurological improvement, defined as 4 or more decrease in National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS)
NIHSS ranges from 0-22, with high score meaning severe neurological deficit.
Hemorrhagic transformation
Hemorrhagic transformation was diagnosed by Computed tomographic scans usually performed 24 to 72 hours after the procedure.Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was defined as neurologic deterioration (an increase of 4 or more points in the score on the NIHSS) and evidence of intracranial hemorrhage on imaging studies.
