Stroke physician versus stroke neurologist: can anyone thrombolyse?

ConclusionDue to the single‐centre, observational nature of this study, the equivalent outcomes between those thrombolysed by a stroke neurologist versus those thrombolysed by a stroke physician must be interpreted with caution pending further studies. Nevertheless, in the current setting, no signal for harm has been detected. This study is unique as it is the first to our knowledge comparing outcomes between a neurologist and non‐neurologist following thrombolysis.
