Delayed Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients with Minor Stroke

Conclusions: Our findings show that the door-to-needle time was longer in patients with minor stroke than it was in those with non-minor stroke, mainly owing to delayed action in the initial steps of neurology notification and imaging. Our findings suggest that some quality improvement initiatives are necessary for patients with suspected stroke with minor symptoms.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:52 –58
