Analysis of prehospital delay in acute ischaemic stroke and its influencing factors: a multicentre prospective case registry study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prehospital delay in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) remains prevalent in China. We aimed to assess the status of the onset-to-door time (ODT) in AIS and analyse its influencing factors.

Methods

Data were collected from a prospective multicentre hospital-based registry (China National Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention and Control Project Management Special Database) of patients with AIS involving 21 hospitals across different economic and geographical regions in China in 2022.

Results
