Duration of Remote Ischemic Conditioning and Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND: Remote ischemic conditioning has been found to be effective in improving functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. We conducted a post hoc analysis of the RICAMIS (Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Acute Moderate Ischemic Stroke) trial to determine whether long-term remote ischemic conditioning duration after stroke onset is associated with better clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients from the full analysis set were included in this secondary analysis. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with an excellent functional outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 1. Among the 1776 patients, there were 55 patients in the 1 to 7 days remote ischemic conditioning group, 345 in the 8 to 10 days group, 412 in the 11 to 13 days group, 51 in the 14 to 16 days group, and 913 in the control group. Compared with the control group, a significantly higher proportion of excellent functional outcomes at 90 days was found in the 11 to 13 days remote ischemic conditioning group (adjusted absolute difference, 9.1% [95% CI, 3.7%-14.5%]; P =0.001), which was attenuated in the other groups (adjusted absolute difference in the 8-10 days group, 2.0% [95% CI, -4.0% to 8.0%]; P=0.51; adjusted absolute difference in the 14-16 days group, 7.4% [95% CI, -5.8% to 20.5%]; P=0.27), but compared to the control group, there was lower proportion of excellent functional outcomes in the 1 to 7 days group (adjusted absolute difference, -14.4% [95% CI, -27.8% to 0.0%]; P=0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with acute moderate ischemic stroke, a higher likelihood of excellent clinical outcome was found in patients with longer duration of remote ischemic conditioning.
