In recent years, the safety and efficacy of hypothermia combining thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy have attracted widespread attention. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hypothermia by combining reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and the Clinical Trial Registries on articles published until May 2024. The full-text articles were thoroughly reviewed, and relevant information regarding study characteristics and outcomes was extracted. Mantel\u2013Haenszel (M\u2013H) random-effects model was used to calculate pooled risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). In addition, subgroup analyses were performed focusing on the different hypothermia modalities and duration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After screening 2,265 articles, 10 studies were included in the present analysis with a total sample size of 785. Forest plots of clinical outcomes were as follows: modified Rankin Scale (mRS) \u22642 at 3\u202fmonths (RR\u202f=\u202f1.28, 95% CI 1.01\u20131.61, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.04), mortality within 3\u202fmonths (RR\u202f=\u202f0.95, 95% CI 0.69\u20131.29, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.73), total complications (RR\u202f=\u202f1.02, 95% CI 0.89\u20131.16, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.77) and pneumonia (RR\u202f=\u202f1.35, 95% CI 0.76\u20132.40, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.31). Subgroup analyses indicated a mild protective effect of selective cerebral hypothermia; however, the difference in mortality between the hypothermia and control groups was not statistically significant (RR\u202f=\u202f0.88, 95% CI 0.57\u20131.35, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.55). Patients undergoing hypothermia for 24\u201348\u202fh experienced a higher rate of overall complications (RR\u202f=\u202f1.37, 95% CI 1.01\u20131.86, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.04)
