Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients hospitalized at the participating centers between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2025; 2. Aged 18 years or older; 3. Pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale score = 1.2; if Option A is not applicable (e.g., some centers lack advanced imaging equipment or analytical software), Option B is used: CT criteria: no hypodensity on non-contrast CT within >= 40% of the hypoperfusion region on perfusion CT; or MRI criteria: diffusion-FLAIR mismatch (no hyperintensity on FLAIR within >= 40% of the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion area), with the time window extended to 24 hours); 7. Admission NIHSS score >= 4 or clearly disabling symptoms (e.g., aphasia, hemianopia, etc.).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Concurrent large vessel occlusion; 2. Mild or rapidly improving neurological deficit (prior to any treatment); 3. Imaging suggests the occlusion may be due to other causes (e.g., arterial dissection, vasculitis, moyamoya disease); 4. Presence of other intracranial pathologies that may affect prognosis (e.g., large unruptured aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, intracranial tumor); 5. History of severe neurological or psychiatric disease that may interfere with neurological assessment; 6. Multiple vessel occlusions (e.g., bilateral anterior circulation or combined anterior and posterior circulation occlusions); 7. Severe systemic disease with a life expectancy of <1 year (e.g., advanced cancer, end-stage liver or kidney failure); 8. Inability to complete follow-up as anticipated.
