Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the Editorial Board Members of Neurology International, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue, entitled "Exclusive Papers from the Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and Invited Scholars of Neurology International". This Special Issue will be a collection of high-quality papers from the Editorial Board Members and invited scholars. The aim is to provide a venue for networking and communication between the journal and scholars in this field.

Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome, addressing current critical issues in the field, grounded in sound science and providing authoritative commentaries, as well as novel concepts. All papers will be published fully open access after successful peer review.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), yet its precise influence on clinical outcomes post-intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and post-endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has remained elusive.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), yet its precise influence on clinical outcomes post-intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and post-endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has remained elusive. Furthermore, the overall prevalence of AF in AIS patients undergoing reperfusion therapy has not been clearly determined. Employing random-effects meta-analyses, this research aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of AF among AIS patients undergoing reperfusion therapy, while also examining the association between AF and clinical outcomes such as functional outcomes, symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) and mortality. Studies comparing AF and non-AF patient groups undergoing reperfusion therapy were identified and included following an extensive database search. Forty-nine studies (n = 66,887) were included. Among IVT patients, the prevalence of AF was 31% (Effect Size [ES] 0.31 [95%CI 0.28–0.35], p < 0.01), while in EVT patients, it reached 42% (ES 0.42 [95%CI 0.38–0.46], p < 0.01), and in bridging therapy (BT) patients, it stood at 36% (ES 0.36 [95%CI 0.28–0.43], p < 0.01). AF was associated with significantly lower odds of favourable 90-day functional outcomes post IVT (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.512 [95%CI 0.376–0.696], p < 0.001), but not post EVT (OR 0.826 [95%CI 0.651–1.049], p = 0.117). Our comprehensive meta-analysis highlights the varying prevalence of AF among different reperfusion therapies and its differential impact on patient outcomes. The highest pooled prevalence of AF was observed in EVT patients, followed by BT and IVT patients. Interestingly, our analysis revealed that AF was significantly associated with poorer clinical outcomes following IVT. Such an association was not observed following EVT. Full article
