Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 and older who had acute ischemic stroke and underwent mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours of onset, with NIHSS ≥ 6, and provided informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who did not receive stress ulcer prophylaxis or who have contraindications to prophylactic medications may not experience a benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort investigates the relationship between pharmacological stress ulcer prophylaxis and clinical outcomes in adults who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. The study notes that stress ulcer bleeding, though relatively uncommon, is associated with worse outcomes, and guidelines do not routinely endorse prophylaxis, making evidence in this setting important. Eligible participants are adults treated within 24 hours of stroke onset, who meet specified guideline-based criteria and have undergone thrombectomy. The analysis aims to identify correlations between prophylaxis use and outcomes such as mortality, functional status, or bleeding events. The study is conducted across multiple centers in China with collaboration among several institutions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could inform guidelines on stress ulcer prophylaxis after mechanical thrombectomy to improve outcomes for stroke patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests a potential association between stress ulcer prophylaxis and outcomes in stroke, but high-quality evidence in this specific post-thrombectomy population is limited and more data are needed.
