Resumen
Introduction. The opportunity for attention and transfer in patients with stroke is related to the time to treatment for thrombolysis (TTT). We determined if admission to the Emergency Room (ER), by ambulance [Amb] versus own means (Om) affected TTT. Methods. In a retrospective (historical) analytical observational study of cohorts, using clinical data of stroke patients admitted into the ER service of Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, during the period between 2017-2019, the median TTT (p25-p75) of patients admitted by Amb Vs Om (U Mann-Whitney) were compared. Additionally, the effect of the median TWT of variables associated with the means od admission was analyzed (p-value: <0.05). Results. 174 records were analyzed, 106 patients admitted by Om (60.9%). The median age was 74 years, predominantly men, and respectively, the NIHSS and the backround of arterial hypertension (HT) were lower (p:0.002) and less frequent in Om patients (p:04045). 80% of patients had a VTT ≤4.5 horas, the median TTT in Om patients (1.98 [1.06-3.81]) was lower than in Amb patients (2.45 [1.60-4.11]). Additionally, Om patients without HT (p: 0.010) or with NIHSS >19 (p: 0.009) presented lower TTT than Amb patients. Conclusion. Establishing that Om patients are admitted with a lower median TTT tan Amb patients, suggests exploring the public perception of prehospital care service (PCS), designing an investigation to identify factors associated with this phenomenon and potentially adjusting the PCS model for attention of cerebrovascular emergencies.
