Trimming the fat in acute ischemic stroke: an assessment of 24‐h CT scans in tPA patients
ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that routine 24‐h computed tomography scan in patients without 24‐h National Institute of Health Stroke Scale worsening (especially those with baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ≤10) is less likely to yield information that results in a deviation from standard acute stroke care. No patient without worsening and baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ≤10 had parenchymal hematoma on 24‐h computed tomography. Application of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale to distinguish patients who should have 24‐h follow‐up imaging from those who will...
