Quantifying Hospital Opportunities to Increase Ischemic Stroke Thrombolysis | Journal of the American Heart Association
Thrombolysis treatment rates vary across the United States, suggesting opportunities to increase thrombolysis treatment rates. 1 For example, stroke thrombolysis may not be a key priority if the hospital treats few patients with stroke or already treats a high proportion. 2 The potential benefits of optimizing stroke thrombolysis vary between hospitals. In this context, we explored the hospital volume of patients with stroke and the proportion who received thrombolysis. We also sought to quantify the
