Table 4. Association between rt-PA and clinical outcomes in the PS-matched cohort.
Events (%) | Unadjusted | ||||
rt-PA-treated, n = 148 | rt-PA non-treated, n = 148 | OR | 95% CI | P | |
Neurological improvement | 91 (61.5) | 56 (37.8) | 2.67 | 1.61–4.40 | <0.001 |
Good functional outcome | 37 (25.0) | 21 (14.2) | 2.23 | 1.16–4.29 | 0.02 |
In-hospital mortality | 13 (8.8) | 32 (21.6) | 0.30 | 0.13–0.65 | 0.003 |
Any ICH | 17 (11.5) | 12 (8.1) | 1.45 | 0.68–3.13 | 0.34 |
Symptomatic ICH | 7 (4.7) | 6 (4.1) | 1.17 | 0.39–3.47 | 0.78 |
Gastrointestinal bleeding | 4 (2.7) | 3 (2.0) | 1.33 | 0.30–5.96 | 0.71 |
OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval, ICH: intracranial hemorrhage. Neurological improvement was defined as a ≥4 point decrease in the NIHSS score during hospitalization or a NIHSS score of 0 at discharge. Good functional outcome was defined as an mRS score of 0–2 at discharge.
