Included: patients are included in this indicator where:
- already in hospital at the time of stroke
- newly arrived patient with a known onset time, and arrived within 8.5 hours of onset
- newly arrived patient with an unknown onset time. Patients with an unknown onset time are included regardless of the length of time between onset and arrival.
- newly arrived patient with a wake-up stroke
Excluded: newly arrived patients with a known onset time and arrived after 8.5 hours of onset are excluded from this indicator
Numerator = the number of patients who were given thrombolysis.
Denominator = all the patients in the cohort meeting the inclusion criteria. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria but are not given thrombolysis are included in the denominator.
To calculate the numerator, count the number of patients who were given thrombolysis (Q2.6 = “Yes”)
