What is Increasing Time to Thrombolysis Is Associated with Worse Long-term Outcomes in Patients with Ischaemic Stroke: a Nationwide Study about?
## Abstract ## Background It is well-established that the short-term benefits of intravenous thrombolytic therapy are reduced with increasing treatment delay in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. However, there is a paucity of contemporary data on the association between time from symptom onset to initiation of thrombolysis and long-term outcomes. With improving post-stroke survival in the Western world, data on time to thrombolysis and subsequent long-term outcomes are warranted in order to provide further insight into the importance of time to treatment. ## Purpose To examine the long-term risk of adverse outcomes according to time from symptom onset to intravenous thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. ## Methods In this observational cohort study, we identified all patients with first-time ischaemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis between 2011–2015 and alive at discharge through the Danish National Stroke Registry. Patients who received thrombolysis after >270 min were excluded. Using multivariable Cox regression, we examined associations between time from symptom onset to thrombolysis and risks of the composite of death, recurrent ischaem
