A post hoc survival analysis of the CEREHETIS trial (ISRCTN87656744) included patients with middle cerebral artery infarctions.
The intervention group (IG, n=91) received Cerebrolysin with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and standard care, while the control group (CG, n=147) received IVT and standard care alone.
Additionally, a validation cohort (VC, n=248) from an observational study was analyzed.
