What is the main outcome of the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-MOnitoring STudy (SITS-MOST)?
The main outcome of the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-MOnitoring STudy (SITS-MOST) is the multivariable analysis of outcome predictors and adjustment of main outcome results to baseline data profile in randomized controlled trials. The study also looked at the improved reliability of the NIH Stroke Scale using video training, and its relationship to 30-day mortality in Medicare beneficiaries with acute ischemic stroke. Additionally, the study examined the effects of alteplase for acute stroke on the distribution of functional outcomes and why acute ischemic stroke patients are not receiving IV tPA.
