Prognostic prediction of thrombolytic therapy with rt-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients using an artificial intelligence model
CONCLUSIONS: ANN model is as effective as a logistic regression model in predicting the prognosis of AIS after thrombolytic therapy with rt-PA. Moreover, ANN is slightly superior to logistic regression in accuracy, precision and F1 score.PMID:37560207 | PMC:PMC10408517

Evaluation of functional outcome measured by modified Rankin scale in rtPA treated patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Authors: Georgievski-Brkic B, Savic M, Nikolic D, Nikcevic L, Vukicevic M, Kozic D Abstract Aim of our study was to assess functional outcome measured by modified Rankin scale (mRS) in patients that were treated with thrombolytic therapy-recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after acute ischemic stroke. The study included 100 participants that were treated after acute ischemic stroke. Analyzed parameters included: gender; age groups: age 54 and below (Groupup to-54), 55-64 (Group55-64), 65-74 (Group65-74), and 75 and above (Group75-up); cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV). Considerin...

Effective management of patients with acute ischemic stroke based on lean production on thrombolytic flow optimization
In this study, we aimed to determine whether applying lean principles to flow optimization could hasten the initiation of thrombolysis. A multidisciplinary team (Stroke Team) was organized to implement an ongoing, continuous loop of lean production that contained the following steps: decomposition, recognition, intervention, reengineering and assessment. The door-to-needle time (DNT) and the percentage of patients with DNT ≤ 60 min before and after the adoption of lean principles were used to evaluate the efficiency of our flow optimization. Thirteen patients with AIS in the pre-lean period and 43 patients with AIS in...

Influence of previous physical activity on the outcome of patients treated by thrombolytic therapy for stroke
Abstract Physical activity prevents stroke and is associated with less severe strokes. The neuroprotective effect in patients treated with intravenous (i.v.) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), remains uncertain. We aimed at evaluating the relationship between previous physical activity and outcomes in stroke patients treated with i.v. rt-PA. OPHELIE-SPORT was a prospective observational multicenter study conducted in French and Japanese stroke patients treated with i.v. rt-PA. We evaluated the presence, weekly duration (<2, 2–5, >5 h) and intensity (light, moderate, heavy) of previous leisu...
