dc.description.abstractThrombolytic therapy should be limited to patients with acute ischemic stroke who meet strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and who can adhere to strict treatment protocol. Patients treated under these conditions have improved combined mortality and disability outcomes at 1 year when treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) (number needed to treat [NNT]=18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11-56) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with significant heterogeneity).eng
