Description
Saarang Patel and colleagues examine, in a 2026 study, whether sex shapes outcomes for kidney failure patients who receive clot removal treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Mechanical thrombectomy has improved stroke care, yet patients with renal failure face higher risks, and sex differences in this specific group were little documented. The team analyzed the National Inpatient Sample from 2019 to 2022 and adjusted for demographic, clinical, and hospital factors.
The cohort held 3,280 hospitalizations, split between 1,675 men and 1,605 women. After adjustment, women had notably higher odds of a non-routine discharge, meaning transfer or care beyond going home, with an odds ratio of 1.536 in the model. Death in hospital, by contrast, showed no significant sex difference. Age and certain other illnesses raised the odds of both outcomes. The authors support equal access to thrombectomy while urging discharge planning that accounts for sex.
