Thrombolysis Uncategorized

Ref. EJVES MAY 2016- Type: cohort study

This cohort study says NO. The outcome of 252 patients treated with thrombolysis was not different on the site of admission: 

There were no differences in the frequency of non-bleeding related complications between Centre 1 and Centre 2. Patients on the vascular ward had a higher frequency of minor bleeding (p = .002) but there was no difference in major bleeding (p = .12). Eleven patients on the ward required an increased level of care for medical reasons and six were moved for a lack of resources. The presence of cardiac disease was an independent risk factor for patient transfer (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.04–9.8, p = .04).
