90 Day Outcome after Reperfusion Therapy of Stroke Patients with Baseline Disability: Unique Observations from Patients Treated on the Mobile Stroke Unit (P6.052)

The small sample size is a limitation to this analysis, and further studies are needed to assess if this subpopulation should be included in clinical trials assessing new therapies or modalities to deliver them.Disclosure: Dr. almaghrabi has nothing to disclose.
