Only a Minority of Thrombectomy Candidates Are Admitted During Night Shift: A Rationale for Diurnal Stroke Care Planning

Conclusions: A two-shift model, excluding the night shift, would cover 90% of the patients with severe AIS. A model with coverage during working hours would miss ~40% of the patients with severe AIS. To achieve a quick and area-wide MT, it seems preferable for newly implemented MT-units to offer MT in a two-shift model at a minimum.
