Abstract Background: Current treatment options for the sake of treating acute ischemic stroke include recombinant tissue plasminogen activator or dual anti platelet therapies. This study aims to evaluate the complications of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in treatment of patients with ischemic stroke who were admitted in Vali-e-Asr hospital in Birjand, 2016-2017. Method: This descriptive analytic study was performed on patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted in neurology ward of Vali-e-Asr hospital in Birjand from 2016 to 2017. A total of 127 patients participated in this study. The data about complications of treatment were collected by questionnaires and entered into SPSS 21. Then, data were analyzed by Chi-square or Fisher exact test at a significant level of p≤ 0.5. Results: A total of 127 subjects received treatment for ischemic stroke. Thirty-one (24.4%) patients have been treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and ninety-six (75.6%) have been treated conventionally with dual antiplatelet. These two groups were matched in terms of age and sex. The history of hypertension in the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator group and the conventional treatments were 32.3% and 67.7%, respectively (p=0.03). 99% of patients in the antiplatelet treatment group (N=96) and 96.8% of patients in the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator group (N=31) have been discharged and one death was occurred in each group (p=0.4). Regarding the incidence of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator complications, IVH was reported in two patients (6.5%, p = 0.06) Conclusion: The incidence of mortality was the same in two groups. Also, complications were only reported in two patients in the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator group (both intraventricular hemorrhage) and the difference was not statistically significant. Researchers recommend that more clinical trials must be conducted. If it is approved, the findings of the current studies will be widely taken into consideration for acute stroke treatment.

Background: Innovations in prehospital and Emergency Department systems of care increasingly enable IV tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) delivery in the first 60 minutes after onset, a time window not tested in placebo-controlled clinical trials. We sought to characterize efficacy and safety outcomes when tPA is delivered in the “golden hour.” Methods: We analyzed 65,384 acute ischemic stroke patients treated with tPA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset in 1456 hospitals participating in GWTG-Stroke from Jan 2009 to Sept 2013. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was employed to evaluate the independent impact of treatment within 60 minutes of onset on outcome. Results: 878 patients (1.3%) received lytic therapy within 60 minutes of onset, versus 6490 (9.9%) in 61-90m, 46,457 (71.1%) in 91-180m, and 11,559 (17.7%) in 181-270m. Independent patient-level factors associated with treatment in the golden hour were older age (aOR 1.15 per 5 years over age 65), higher NIHSS (aOR, 1.04 per scale point), non-EMS arrival (aOR 1.59), and arrival during on hours (aOR 1.61). Hospital level predictors were higher tPA volume (aOR 1.08 per 5 cases), non-PSC (aOR 1.27), and Western region (aOR 1.38 vs Northeast). Compared with the 61-270m window, treatment within 0-60m was associated with increased independent ambulation at d/c, aOR 1.22 (95% CI 1.03-1.45); discharge to home, aOR 1.25 (1.07-1.45); and being disability-free at d/c, aOR 1.72 (95% CI 1.21-2.46, mRS 0-1). No differences were noted in in-hospital mortality or SICH. Considering all discharge mRS transitions, golden hour treatment showed greatest impact at mRS 0-1 vs 2-6 (Figure). Conclusions: Ischemic stroke treatment with IV tPA in the golden hour is associated with more frequent independent ambulation at discharge, discharge to home, and, especially, being disability free at discharge. These findings support intensive efforts, including Target: Stroke and prehospital thrombolysis, to speed treatment initiation.
