California Acute Stroke Pilot Registry

The most common reason for lack of rt-PA use in otherwise eligible patients remains, however, delay in presentation to the hospital. The California Acute Stroke Pilot Registry (CASPR) investigators examined the effect of various hypothetical interventions on the rate of rt-PA use. Their data suggested that if all patients with a known time of onset presented to medical attention immediately, the expected overall rate of thrombolytic treatment within 3 hours would have increased from 4.3% to 28.6%. By comparison, the expected rate of treatment that would result from instantaneous prehospital response was 5.5%, from perfect hospital care was 11.5%, and from extension of time window to 6 hours was 8.3%. [Pg.49]
