The Impact of Weather and Mode of Transport on Outcomes of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy.

During transportation, higher temperature was associated with good outcome, whereas daily drizzle was associated with poor outcome after MT. Although weather was associated with transportation mode, no differences in outcomes were found between transportation modes. Further studies are needed to modify transfer protocols, especially during cold and rainy days, and potentially improve outcomes.
