Table 5 Predictors associated with good long-term outcome after undergoing mechanical thrombectomy assessed by telephone and dichotomized EQ usual activities score by the EQ-5D-5L (score 1 or 2 versus greater than or equal to 3)

From: Functional long-term outcome following endovascular thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke

 

Usual activity score EQ-5D-5L 1 or 2 (N = 50)
