Article Abstract
At Get With the Guidelines-Stroke hospital Emergency Departments, more than one quarter of patients documented onset time and at least one eighth of all ischemic stroke patients arrived within 1 hour of onset, where they received thrombolytic therapy more frequently but more slowly than late arrivers. These findings support public health initiates to increase early presentation and shorter door-to-needle times in patients arriving within the golden hour.
