Article Abstract
Thrombectomy significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusion. However, the foundational trials used restrictive criteria, excluding patients with prestroke disability and included a few elderly patients (>80 years old). In addition, results from registries demonstrated conflicting results. We propose that there is equipoise for the elderly and prestroke disability to undergo thrombectomy and that trials are urgently required to guide treatment.

Objectives: Internationally about 3% of people ≥65 years live in long-term care (LTC) settings. Older people living in nursing homes are more likely to be admitted to hospital. We examined the characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients admitted from LTC nationally and how this changed over the COVID-19 pandemic.

This letter addresses the manuscript titled "Comparison of Prestroke Frailty and Disability for Outcome Prediction in Older Stroke Patients" by Paola Forti et al. The study explores the predictive role of prestroke frailty in stroke outcomes for older patients, demonstrating its potential to guide clinical decision-making. While the large cohort enhances the study's validity, several methodological concerns are raised, including the retrospective use of frailty assessments and the lack of subgroup analyses by stroke type or severity.
