Table 2.

Reason for non-thrombolysis. Multivariate analysis of reasons for non-thrombolysis divided by onset-to-admission delay (≤180 min vs >180 min)

Patients (n=2019) ≤180 min (n=659) >180 min (n=1360) OR p Value 95% CI
Too mild stroke 323 (49%) 567 (42%) 3.35* 0.000 1.82 to 6.18
Age >80 years 112 (17%) 164 (12%) 2.98* 0.007 1.36 to 6.56
Other bleeding reasons 15 (2%) 9 (1%) 10.12* 0.026 1.33 to 77.23
Recent stroke (clinically or radiologically) <3 months 36 (6%) 13 (1%) 4.50 0.071 0.88 to 23.01
Other reasons 16 (2%) 8 (1%) 13.77* 0.033 1.23 to 153.68
Microangiopathic stroke mechanism 75 (11%) 233 (17%) 0.28* 0.010 0.11 to 0.74
Other determined or rare stroke mechanism 54 (8%) 32 (2%) 3.48 0.096 0.80 to 15.08
Atrial fibrillation 179 (27%) 287 (21%) 1.94* 0.034 1.05 to 3.58
Mechanical or biological heart valves 23 (4%) 40 (3%) 3.62* 0.049 1.01 to 13.01

OR >1 means more likely ≤180 min and <1 means more likely >180 min.
