Multicenter Study Observational Study
Scandinavian Multicenter Acute Subdural Hematoma (SMASH) Study: Study Protocol for a Multinational Population-Based Consecutive Cohort.
Traumatic acute subdural hematomas (ASDHs) are associated with high rate of morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly individuals. However, recent reports indicate that the morbidity and mortality rates might have improved. ⋯ An improved understanding of the clinical outcome, treatment and resource allocation, clinical course, and the prognostic factors of traumatic ASDH will allow neurosurgeons to make better treatment decisions.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparative Safety and Efficacy of Modified TICI 2b and TICI 3 Reperfusion in Acute Ischemic Strokes Treated With Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the current standard of care for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with emergent large-vessel occlusions (ELVO). Successful reperfusion of ELVO is traditionally defined by modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grades of 2b or 3. ⋯ Successful reperfusion with mTICI 3 was associated with greater neurological improvement during hospitalization and better 3-mo functional outcomes in comparison to mTICI 2b reperfusion.
