Effect of working hours on prognosis of acute ischemic stroke patients following alteplase intravenous thrombolysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the effect of hospital working hours on outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke 3 months after receiving alteplase intravenous thrombolysis.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on 254 individuals with acute ischemic stroke who received alteplase intravenous thrombolysis between January 2018 and December 2020 either during peak hospital working hours (08:00-17:59; Group A) or off-peak hours (18:00-07:59 the following day; Group B). Patients were also categorized according to which of four peak/off-peak-hour periods they received treatment in: Group 1 (08:00-11:59), Group 2 (12:00-17:59), Group 3 (18:00-21:59), Group 4 (22:00-07:59 the following day). Baseline data and 3-month prognosis were compared across groups. Logistic regressio
