However, the benefit of EVT in patients with NIHSS score of &lt;6 is unclear.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2018\u20132020) for patients with a large\u2010vessel occlusion of the internal carotid or middle cerebral artery with an NIHSS score of &lt;6, and compared outcomes between patients treated with EVT versus best medical management, using propensity score matching. The primary outcome was routine discharge (home or self\u2010care). Secondary outcomes were in\u2010hospital mortality, intracerebral hemorrhage, and length of stay. Primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated using multivariable regression adjusted for baseline characteristics, stroke severity, and treatment with thrombolysis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n              Of the 212\u00a0515 patients with an internal carotid artery\/middle cerebral artery stroke, 49\u00a0115 met the inclusion criteria for our study. There were 3490 (7.1%) patients treated with EVT and 45\u00a0625 (92.9%) treated with best medical management. Patients treated with EVT had no difference in ofdds of routine discharge (adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.99; 95% CI, 0.82\u20131.19;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              \u00a0=\u00a00.91), but there were longer lengths of hospital stay (adjusted \u03b2, 1.26; 95% CI, 0.78\u20131.74;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001) and higher rates of death (adjusted OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.20\u20133.70;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              \u00a0=\u00a00.01), compared with patients treated with best medical management. In multivariable models, intravenous thrombolysis was independently associated with higher odds of routine discharge (adjusted OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.57\u20132.01;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001) and shorter hospital stay (adjusted \u03b2, \u22120.41; 95% CI, \u22120.63 to \u22120.19;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001), but no difference in in\u2010hospital mortality (adjusted OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.39\u20131.24;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              \u00a0=\u00a00.22).
