Eligibility for intravenous thrombolysis in acute stroke: A multicenter prospective study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
P182 Objective: To elucidate the proportion of patients who would have been eligible for alteplase treatment following the ECASS II criteria in a prospective study conducted in 20 Spanish general or university hospitals. Methods: The first 100 consecutive patients with an acute stroke admitted between 9/98 and 4/99 in each participating hospital were evaluated. Data concerning exclusion criteria for tPA, demographic variables, distance to hospital ( 20km), time (0–6am,6–12,12–6pm,6–12pm) and place (home, work/street, hospital) of symptoms onset, subject detecting the event (victim, family member, bystander), dispatch system (own initiative, EMS, primary physician, community hospital), delay and type of transport (own transport, basic, or advanced life support ambulance), cardiovascular risk factors, stroke severity (Canadian scale) and type of stroke were recorded. Results: Out of 1599 screened patients, 166 (10.4%) fulfilled all criteria for tPA treatment. Multiple reasons for exclusion were time from onset >6h in 23%, or unknown in 23%, delay in neurological attention >6h in 39%, TC not available within 6h from onset in 34%, hemorrhage in 14%, early signs of infarction involving >33% MCA in 8%, TIA or rapidly improving symptoms in 24%, coma or hemiplegia plus forced eye deviation in 5%, hypertension >185/110 in 2%, coagulation abnormalities in 1%, and other reasons in 6%. Univariate analyses showed that high eligibility for tPA was associated with type of the first medical intervention (emergency medical system)(p=0.006), type of transport (basic or advanced life support ambulance)(p Conclusions: Candidates for intravenous tPA treatment within 6 hours from stroke onset are 10% of patients admitted in general hospitals of an EU country. Delay in neurologic attention and CT examination were the main reasons for exclusion. Dispatch system, and type of transport were modifiable factors related to eligibility.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
