The optimal patient transportation destination of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive variables that determine stroke outcomes depending on the patient transportation destination. We performed a retrospective study using an acute ischemic stroke database consisting of patients, who underwent thrombectomy admitted to our institution from November 1, 2011 through October 1, 2018. A total of 171 patients were included in the statistical analysis; 42.1% (72/171) of patients were in the mothership group (directly admitted) and 57.9% (99/171) in the drip-and-ship group (transferred). Multivariable logistic regression revealed the predictive factors for favorable outcomes were driving distance (expressed in miles) between the patient’s home and a Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) (OR=0.95 (0.90–0.99), p=0.035), absence of diabetes mellitus (OR=3.60 (1.20–10.82), p=0.022), lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission (OR=0.91 (0.85–0.97), p=0.003), and shorter symptom onset to CSC arrival time (expressed in hours) (OR=0.84 (0.72–0.99), p=0.038). Our study revealed that shorter driving distance between patient’s home and CSC, absence of diabetes, lower NIHSS score, and shorter onset to hospital arrival time positively impacted the outcomes of endovascularly treated AIS patients.
