Temporal Trends of Emergency Department Arrival Times after Acute Ischemic Stroke: a Population-Based Study (S21.006)

CONCLUSIONS: We found that IS patients arrived at progressively later times from 1993/4-2010. More research is needed to determine the reasons for delayed arrival to medical attention, since time from onset dominates the exclusion of patients from rt-PA.
