BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) parameters predict ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic chronic carotid or middle cerebral artery occlusion. METHODS: A post hoc analysis of medically treated patients enrolled in the CMOSS trial (Carotid or Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Surgery Study; URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT01758614), a randomized controlled trial conducted at 13 centers in China between June 2013 and March 2018. It aimed to compare extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery to medical therapy in patients with symptomatic carotid or middle cerebral artery occlusion and hemodynamic insufficiency. CTP-derived mean transit time and relative cerebral blood flow were collected. The primary outcome was defined as ischemic stroke in the territory of the qualifying artery within 2 years after randomization. The predictive value of CTP for the primary outcome was analyzed by a Cox regression model. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to calculate optimal cutoff values of CTP parameters. RESULTS: All 165 per-protocol patients (median age=53.7 years, 81.2% men) treated with medical treatment alone were analyzed. Sixteen (9.7%) patients suffered the primary outcome during the 2-year follow-up. Cutoff values of mean transit time >6.5 seconds (symptomatic side) and relative cerebral blood flow ≤0.5 were associated with recurrent stroke. In multivariate Cox regression, mean transit time (adjus...
