Aims To study the association of th...
Wake-up Stroke and Stroke within the Therapeutic Window for Thrombolysis Have S...
Costa, R; Pinho, J; Alves, JN; Amorim, JM; Ribeiro, M; Ferreira, CBACKGROUND: Wake-up stroke (WUS) represents 25% of all ischemic strokes. There is conflicting evidence concerning clinical severity, imaging characteristics, and outcome when WUS is compared with stroke of known time of onset. Our aim was to compare WUS patients with patients with ischemic stroke within the therapeutic window (STW) for thrombolysis. METHODS: This is a retrospective hospital-based study of all c...
