Abstract

The effectiveness and safety of human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) was unclear. A pooled analysis was performed using individual data from the DEVT and RESCUE BT trials. Patients were divided into two groups based on HUK treatment. The primary outcome was the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Safety outcomes included 90-day mortality and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 48 hours. A total of 1174 patients were included in the study. Of these, 150 (12.8%) patients received HUK. The adjusted common odds ratio (OR) of the mRS score was 1.458 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.072–1.983; p = 0.016) favoring HUK. The incidence of sICH (2.0% vs. 8.6%; adjusted OR: 0.198; 95% CI: 0.061–0.638; p = 0.007) and mortality (11.3% vs.18.5%; adjusted OR: 0.496; 95% CI: 0.286–0.862; p = 0.013) was lower in HUK group than non-HUK group. This association was consistent with propensity score-matching and the inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis. In conclusion, HUK was safe and associated with a preferable prognosis in AIS patients due to LVO in the anterior circulation.
