[Thrombolysis for acute stroke--a nationwide analysis of regional medical care].
This study aims at investigating ischaemic stroke therapy in Germany by using secondary data. The focus lies on the performance of thrombolysis. ⋯ In Germany, to date regional differences in the treatment of ischaemic stroke exist. Experience in the treatment of ischaemic stroke patients and the availability of a stroke unit both increase the thrombolysis rate. Data suggest that in Germany there is still room for improvement of appropriate ischaemic stroke treatment.
