NWU correlated poorly with conventional markers of cerebral edema and was not associated with clinical outcome in the presence of hemorrhagic transformation and thrombectomy. Measuring NWU postthrombectomy requires validation before implementation into clinical research. At present, the use of NWU should be limited to baseline CT, or follow-up CT only in patients without hemorrhagic transformation or treatment with thrombectomy.
