Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Prolonged venous transit (PVT+) is a marker of venous outflow; it is defined as the presence or absence of time-to-maximum ≥10 seconds timing in either the superior sagittal sinus or torcula. This novel perfusion imaging-based metric has been associated with higher odds of mortality and lower odds of functional recovery. This study aims to assess the relationship between PVT on admission perfusion imaging and length of hospital stay in large vessel occlusion strokes successfully reperfused with mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation successfully treated with thrombectomy between 01/2017 and 09/2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was length of stay in the hospital due to the acute stroke event. Univariable and forward stepwise multivariable linear regressions were performed for the primary outcome. RESULTS:Of 109 patients meeting inclusion, median age was 71 (interquartile range [IQR] 62-80) years. Median hospital length of stay was significantly greater in PVT+ patients (9 [IQR 6-18] days) compared to PVT-patients (6 [IQR 4-12] days, p=0.03). In multivariable regression, PVT+ was significantly associated with length of stay, and PVT+ was associated with approximately two additional days of hospital stay compared to PVT-(p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS:In successfully reperfused large vessel occlusion strokes, PVT+ was associated with an additional two days of hospital stay on average compared to PVT-patients, when adjusting for other clinical covariables. This simple, novel imaging metric is robust in correlating with a range of short and long term clinical outcomes. ABBREVIATIONS:VO = venous outflow; Tmax = time-to-maximum; PVT = prolonged venous transit; AIS-LVO = large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke; SSS = superior sagittal sinus; rCBF = relative cerebral blood flow; IQR = interquartile range; VIF = variance inflation factor.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
