N2 - Computed-tomography perfusion (CTP) is frequently used to screen acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients for endovascular treatment (EVT), despite known problems with ischemic "core" overestimation. This potentially leads to the unfair exclusion of patients from EVT. We propose that net water uptake (NWU) can be used in addition to CTP to more accurately assess the extent and/or stage of tissue infarction. Patients treated for AIS between 06/2015 and 07/2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline CTP-derived core volume (pCore) and NWU were determined. Logistic regression tested the relationship between baseline clinical and imaging variables and core-overestimation (primary outcome). The secondary outcomes comprised 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin score) and lesion growth. 284 patients were included. Median NWU was 7.2% (IQR 2.6-12.8). ASPECTS (RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.09-1.51), NWU (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.89-0.98), onset to recanalization (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.00) and imaging (RR 1.00, 95% CI 1.00-1.00) times, and pCore (RR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.02) were significantly associated with core overestimation. Core-overestimation was more likely to occur in patients with large pCores and low NWU at baseline. NWU was significantly correlated with lesion growth. We conclude that NWU can be used as a supplemental tool to CTP during admission imaging to more accurately assess the extent of ischemia, particularly relevant for patients with large CTP-defined cores who would otherwise be excluded from treatment.
