Description
Summary:Objective The aims of the present study were to determine how renal disease is associated with the time to receive hyperacute stroke care. Methods The present study involved a 5‐year cohort of all patients admitted to stroke units in South Australia. Results In those with pre‐existing renal disease there were no significant differences in the time taken to receive a scan, thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy. Conclusions The present study shows that in protocolised settings there were no significant delays in hyperacute stroke management for patients with renal disease.
