Factors Influencing In-Hospital Delay in Treatment With Intravenous Thrombolysis

Abstract

Background and Purpose-Shortening door-to-needle time (DNT) for the thrombolytic treatment of stroke can improve treatment efficacy by reducing onset-to-treatment time. The goal of our study was to explore the association between DNT and outcome and to identify factors influencing DNT to better understand why some patients are treated late.
