Association between rehabilitation after reperfusion treatment and in-hospital mortality: Results from a national registry study

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no effective regimen to reduce the mortality of patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy (EVT). Therefore, we aimed to examine whether sequential therapy by rehabilitation could effectively reduce the in-hospital mortality of patients treated with reperfusion therapy.

Methods

This prospective registry study included patients with ischemic stroke who were treated by intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy at Stroke Center Work Plan in China between 1 October 2018 and 31 July 2020.
