Factors influencing nonadministration of thrombolytic therapy in early arrival strokes in a university hospital in Hyderabad, India
Conclusion: One-fourth of early ischemic stroke patients in our study were not thrombolyzed even though they arrived within the window period. The majority of the reasons for nonadministration of thrombolysis were potentially preventable, such as nonaffordability, intrahospital delay, and nonavailability of newer endovascular interventions.

HAT Score Outperforms 7 Other Hemorrhagic Transformation Scores in Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombolysis (P3.109)
Conclusions: HAT score yielded the highest odds ratio among the 4 scores that accurately predicted sICH in our independent dataset. HAT score also had low computational complexity compared to other scores. Our results demonstrate the potential utility of the HAT score as a predictor of adverse clinical outcome for acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing IV thrombolytic therapy.Disclosure: Dr. Asuzu has nothing to disclose.
