Sažetak
Thrombolytic therapy improves the outcome after ischemic stroke when applied within 3 hours from symptoms onset. The goal of study was to investigate the time of delay for acute stroke patients (pts) treated at Neurology clinic, University Hospital Centre Osijek. The mean time of delay was 502 minutes. 53% of pts arrived within 3 hours, 66% within 6 hrs, 79% within 12 hrs and 90% of pts within 24 hours. The situation is not yet satisfying and efforts to reduce time of delay and to educate population are necessary.
