Baseline Blood Pressure but Not Early Computed Tomography Changes Predicts Major Hemorrhage After Streptokinase in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 33:22236-2242, Gilligan,A.K.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
SK increased the risk of both minor and major hemorrhage. Major hemorrhage was also more likely in patients with elevated baseline systolic blood pressure. However, early CT changes did not predict major hemorrhage. Results from this study hi ghlight the importance of baseline systolic blood pressure as a potential cause of hemorrhage in patients undergoing thrombolysis.
