Abstract 35: Safety and Outcomes of Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients With Recent Stroke: Findings From Get With the Guidelines-Stroke
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Guidelines recommend against use of Intravenous tissue Plasminogen Activator (IV tPA) in acute ischemic stroke (IS) patients with prior IS within past 3 months. However, there are limited data on the safety of IV tPA in this population. Methods: Using American Heart Association Get With the Guideline-Stroke between February 2009 and December 2015 we identified 1399 acute IS patients otherwise eligible for IV tPA but with IS within prior 3 months. Of these, 293 were treated with IV tPA. We compared them with 30,655 acute IS patients treated with IV tPA but with no prior IS history. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate association between recent prior IS (within 90 days, 1-14 days, 15-30 days, 31-90 days) with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and discharge outcomes after IV tPA. Results: Age (median 80, IQR 74-87) and stroke severity as measured by NIHSS (median 11, IQR 6-18) were similar for acute IS patients treated with IV tPA with or without recent IS. However, patients with recent IS were more likely to have higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. In unadjusted analysis, patients with recent IS within prior 90 days were more likely to experience sICH and in-hospital mortality and less likely to have good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-1) than those with no history of IS (Table 1). On multivariate analysis, risk for sICH and in-hospital mortality was not significantly different but good functional outcomes at discharge occurred less often among patients with history of IS within prior 90 days. In a prespecified subgroup analysis, the increased risk for sICH appeared to concentrate in those with recent IS within 14 days of the acute index IS but not in later time window. Conclusions: Recent IS within 90 days is associated with increased risk of worse outcomes in acute IS patients treated with tPA. In our study, the risk of sICH after tPA was highest among those with a history of prior IS within the past 14 days.

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.
