High average daily temperature in summer and the incidence of thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke

CONCLUSION: Our findings did not confirm an association between the average daily temperature in summer and the daily number of TT throughout the examined 10-year period. However, importantly, in 2014 and 2015, the years with the highest average daily temperatures in this period, a positive correlation was found. The level of correlation is modest, indicating that risk factors, both meteorological and non-meteorological, other than the average temperature, play equally important roles in determining the incidence of thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke on the population level.PMID:38040506 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.09.004
