Clinical factors influencing intravenous thrombolysis in patients with cerebral infarction: a retrospective cohort study comparing private car and ambulance transport in Jiaxing, China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical differences in intravenous thrombolytic therapy among patients with cerebral infarction transported to the hospital by private cars versus ambulances in Jiaxing, a non-supersized city in China.
