Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)—a Harvard Medical School-affiliated teaching hospital—have found that many eligible stroke victims do not receive an important clot-dissolving drug on time, significantly increasing their risk of disability. The study is part of a larger research project into hospitals’ performance in quality improvement campaigns for stroke patients, including the American Stroke Association-based “Get With the Guidelines.” It will appear in the November issue of the journal Stroke. The drug in question, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), is the only...
