System-level trends in ischemic stroke admissions after adding endovascular stroke capabilities in community hospitals
Upgrading to EPH status was associated with a 2% per month increase in AIS admissions during the first year post-transition for the upgrading hospitals, but decreasing volumes and treatments at the established EPH. These findings quantify the impact on AIS admissions in hospital systems with increasing EST access in community hospitals.
