ABSTRACT Purpose of the study: The hyperacute care of ischemic stroke has evolved markedly. It is unclear to which level stroke centre patients should primarily be taken so information of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) outcomes in smaller centres are needed. Methods: All IVT episodes in North Karelia Central hospital in 2016-2017 were analysed retrospectively using hospital registries and individual medical records. Results: IVT had been given to 75 patients (47% women) whose median age was 74years [IQR 64, 81; no gender difference (p = 0.70)]. Median NIHSS on admission was 6 (IQR 4, 10) and onset-to-treatment time (OTT) 125min (95% CI 112-138min). Two intracranial bleeding complications were observed. Clinical status improved following IVT and 53.4% were independent at six months (85% were independent before the stroke). In a multivariate analysis the NIHSS score was the only predictor (B = 0.12, R2=0.34, p — 0.0001) of modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Large-vessel occlusion (LVO) was identified in 27% (35% women). Their median mRS was 2.0 (25% had died). Endovascular thrombectomy had followed IVT in 30% of the LVO-patients. Conclusions: IVT results were generally in this peripheral PSC-level hospital without advanced imaging capabilities, but LVO outcomes need improvement. A mothership strategy should be evaluated.
