Objective:
The aims of the present study were to determine how renal disease is associated with the time to receive hyperacute stroke care.
Methods:
The present study involved a 5-year cohort of all patients admitted to stroke units in South Australia.
Results:
In those with pre-existing renal disease there were no significant differences in the time taken to receive a scan, thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy.
Conclusions:
The present study shows that in protocolised settings there were no significant delays in hyperacute stroke management for patients with renal disease.
