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

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

  • Asterisk (*), significant on p<0.05 level. Definitions of reasons for non-thrombolysis see text/table 5.
