Impact of demographic and clinical factors on in-hospital delays in acute ischemic stroke treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delays in reperfusion treatment, both intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT), adversely affect outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). To alleviate these delays, it is essential to comprehend how patients' baseline and stroke characteristics impact in-hospital reperfusion delays. While demographic and socioeconomic factors affect stroke outcomes, their impact on in-hospital delays remains unclear.

Method

This is retrospective analysis at a tertiary stroke center, encompassing AIS patients receiving IVT and / or EVT between 2019 and 2022 (re-canalization cohort). Outcomes of interest were time intervals of admission to CT and admission to recanalization. Univariable analyses explored age, gender, baseline functional status, s
