Participant Flow

In this study the Chinese Stroke Centre Alliance (CSCA) data was used to describe the in-hospital clinical outcomes regarding safety and effectiveness for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who were treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, aged above 80 years, as well as between 18 and 80 years.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Population: Patients registered in the Chinese Stroke Centre Alliance (CSCA) platform from August 2015 to July 2019 with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) diagnoses at admission. Endpoint was planned to only include Group 1 and 2. Only patients with collected NIHSS scores were included in the endpoint.

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a scale of stroke severity, it ranges from 0 to 42 where a score of 0 indicates no stroke symptoms and higher scores indicate incremental levels of neurologcial impairment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 100 days.

Population: Patients registered in the Chinese Stroke Centre Alliance (CSCA) platform from August 2015 to July 2019 with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) diagnoses at admission. Subjects without a discharge mRS score were excluded. Endpoint was planned to only include Group 1 and 2.

The Modified Rankin Score (mRS) ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates no symptoms, 1 no significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability and 6 death.
