Study summary

GROW-ICAS (Gut microBiota and prOgnostic Outcomes in IntraCranial Arterial Stenosis) is a prospective observational cohort study that enrolls patients with intracranial arterial stenosis to investigate the correlations between their gut microbiota, metabolomic, and transcriptomic profiles and three key clinical domains: functional outcomes, vascular plaque imaging characteristics, and post-stroke non-motor dysfunctions (including cognitive impairment, depression, anxiety, and fatigue).

Current/planned participation in other trials. 18. Inability to cooperate due to psychiatric/emotional disorders. 19. Other investigator-deemed ineligibility.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Stroke Recurrence in Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis — From enrollment to 1 year
    Patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis experiencing recurrent cerebrovascular events, defined as either novel ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
  • Stroke Occurrence in Patients with Asymptomatic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis — From enrollment to 1 year
    Incident cerebrovascular events-comprising ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)-occurring in patients exhibiting asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
