Methods<br />

• We queried the GWTG-<strong>Stroke</strong> dataset to<br />

identify AIS patients eligible for <strong>tPA</strong><br />

treatment<br />

• Patients with in-hospital stroke and those<br />

who received IV <strong>tPA</strong> at an outside hospital<br />

were excluded.<br />

• The primary outcome <strong>of</strong> interest was the<br />

proportion <strong>of</strong> eligible AIS patients who<br />

presented within 3.5 hours and received <strong>tPA</strong><br />

by 4.5 hours.
