Background:
and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking.
Methods:
This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance.
Results:
Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal.
Conclusions
The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

Objective:To understand the problems existing in the curriculum design of food hygiene and nutrition for undergraduates, and put forward countermeasures to improve the quality of talents cultivation and promote professional development.Methods:Self-made questionnaires were distributed by convenience sampling method, through online and offline ways, and the graduates' opinions on the curriculum design of their school. Quantitative data were analyzed by SPSS 26.0, and qualitative data were analyzed by NVivo 11.0.Results:A total of 258 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the average score of graduates' satisfaction with teaching quality was 2.42±1.02. Graduates had different opinions on the importance of special courses, and 150 students (58.14%) were satisfied with major courses. Some graduates thought the time of special courses was unreasonable and there were few major courses. Besides, 141 graduates (54.65%) were satisfied with the clinical probation in their graduation colleges. Although graduates believed that innovation ability was important, innovative education courses were scarce at present.Conclusions:Graduates are less satisfied with the setting of undergraduate curriculum in food hygiene and nutrition. It is suggested to optimize professional courses setting, improve experimental facilities and equipment, strengthen the management of practice bases, and pay attention to the cultivation of students' innovation and entrepreneurship ability.
