Varying Rates of Hospital Reperfusion Therapy for Stroke: Insights From Analysis of National Stroke Audit Data
In a large national sample of acute stroke care hospitals, there was significant variability in hospital RTRs, with those having higher stroke volumes typically showing higher hospital RTRs. Additionally, an inverse correlation between hospital RTRs and 1-year mortality highlights the clinical importance of improving RTRs.
