Thrombolysis in Patients With Large-Vessel Occlusion Directly Admitted or Transferred to a Thrombectomy Center: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our goal is to evaluate whether the administration of thrombolytic treatment has varying effects on clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke, based on the type of stroke center where the treatment was given (thrombectomy-capable center versus local stroke center).

Methods

We included patients with an acute ischemic large-vessel occlusion stroke who were directly admitted to thrombectomy-capable centers and treated with endovascular thrombectomy, or were transferred from local stroke centers as thrombectomy candidates, in Catalonia, Spain, between 2017 and 2021. The primary outcome was the shift analysis on the modified Rankin scale score at 90 days. Secondary outcomes included death at 90 days and the rate of parenchymal he
