Cohort study finds longer reperfusion delays and poorer functional outcomes for in-hospital versus community-onset ischemic strokes, indicating key targets for clinical improvement.
In this cohort study, in-hospital stroke onset was increasingly reported and treated with reperfusion therapy. Compared with out-of-hospital stroke onset, in-hospital onset was associated with longer delays to reperfusion and worse functional outcomes, highlighting opportunities to further care for patients with in-hospital stroke onset.
