Introduction: Identifying differences in outcome of basilar artery occlusion (BAO) between males and females may be useful in aiding clinical management. Recent studies have demonstrated widespread underrepresentation of women in acute stroke clinical trials. This international multicentre study aimed to determine sex differences in outcome after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for patients with acute BAO. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with BAO who had undergone MT in seven stroke centres across five countries (Singapore, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Germany), between 2015 and 2020. Primary outcome was a favourable functional outcome measured by a modified Ranking Scale (mRS) of 0–3 at 90 days. Secondary outcomes were mRS 0–3 upon discharge, mortality, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Results: Among the 322 patients who underwent MT, 206 (64.0%) patients were male and 116 (36.0%) were female. Females were older than males (mean ± SD 70.9 ± 14.3 years vs. 65.6 ± 133.6 years; p = 0.001) and had higher rates of atrial fibrillation (38.9% vs. 24.2%; p = 0.012). Time from groin puncture to reperfusion was shorter in females than males (mean ± SD 57.2 ± 37.2 min vs. 71.1 ± 50.9 min; p = 0.021). Despite these differences, primary and secondary outcome measures were similar in females and males, with comparable rates of favourable 90-day mRS scores (mean ± SD 46 ± 39.7 vs. 71 ± 34.5; OR = 1.20; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.59–2.43; p = 0.611), favourable discharge mRS scores (mean ± SD 39 ± 31.6 vs. 43 ± 25.9; OR = 1.38; 95% CI = 0.69–2.78; p = 0.368) and in-hospital mortality (mean ± SD 30 ± 25.9 vs. 47 ± 22.8; OR = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.55–2.43; p = 0.710. Rates of complications such as sICH (mean ± SD 5 ± 4.3 vs. 9 ± 4.4; OR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.08–2.66; p = 0.385) and SAH (mean ± SD 4 ± 3.4 vs. 5 ± 2.4; OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.03–3.09; p = 0.303) comparably low in both groups. Conclusion: Females achieved comparable functional outcomes compared with males after undergoing MT for BAO acute ischemic stroke.
