ConclusionsDespite being of typical age for multiple cardiovascular conditions the PC‐ICH patients less often have a previous history of AF or dyslipidemia than IS patients do.

Organizational changes aiming to reduce iv tPA door‐to‐needle time
ConclusionsStreamlining of iv tPA logistics can reduce median DNT to <30 min in a general local hospital. Moving treatment start from the ER to the CT laboratory contributed to reduce DNT. Our organizational model was resistant to influence on DNT by patient age, gender, stroke severity, and time to hospital arrival. The incidence of SICH remained low.
