| Résumé | {Objective. - To determine the effects of a 1-year quality-improvement (QI) process to reduce door-to-needle (DTN) time in a secondary general hospital in which multimodal MRI screening is used before tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods. - The QI process was initiated in January 2015. Patients who received intravenous (iv) tPA < 4.5 h after AIS onset between 26 February 2015 to 25 February 2016 (during implementation of the QI process; the ``2015 cohort'') were identified (n = 130), and their demographic and clinical characteristics and timing metrics compared with those of patients treated by iv tPA in 2014 (the ``2014 cohort'' |
