Fig. 3From: Side matters: differences in functional outcome and quality of life after thrombectomy in left and right hemispheric strokeForrest plot showing the impact of stroke laterality on outcome assessed by the mRS (A) and by the EQ-5D-I B 90 days after EVT. After adjusting for the confounding variables (age, sex and baseline NIHSS), LHS was associated with a better functional outcome (ß coefficient − 0.109, CI 95% − 0.217–0.000; p = 0.049) (Fig. 3A) and strongly associated with a better HRQoL (ß coefficient 0.04, CI 95% 0.017–0.063; p = 0.001) (Fig. 3B)Back to article page
