Figure 4

Functional independence (mRS 0-2), mortality (mRS 6), and quality of life at long-term follow-up following endovascular or medical management of AIS due to LVO. Forest plot of odds ratios (ORs) or mean difference for (a) functional independence (modified Rankin score or mRS 0-2), (b) all-cause mortality, (c) and quality of life (EQ-5D utility) at long-term follow-up. Estimated ORs and confidence intervals are shown, respectively, by the square box and horizontal line. Heterogeneity tests and effect size are shown.
