Emergency stroke treatment would benefit from the increased use of thrombolysis via academic or practice-based telemedicine systems. However, a comparative analysis of these systems has not been undertaken. Data on stroke severity and outcomes after thrombolysis were gathered on patients treated by a practice-based system and compared to published data from academic systems. Patient demographics and outcome measures were not significantly different for patients treated by practice-based or academic providers with the exceptions of lower age and shorter duration of stay in the practice-based treatment group. This study shows that emergency stroke care provided by academic and practice-based telemedicine systems can achieve similar outcomes.
通过学术或实践为基础的远程医疗系统增加溶栓的使用，将会使中风的紧急治疗受益。然而，目前还没有对这些系统进行比较分析。对通过实践为基础的系统治疗的患者的中风严重程度和溶栓治疗后结果的数据进行了收集，并与学术系统的已发表数据进行了比较。患者的人口统计学特征和预后指标，在通过实践或学术提供者治疗的患者之间没有显著差异，除了实践为基础治疗组的年龄更低和住院时间更短。本研究表明，学术和实践为基础的远程医疗系统提供的中风急救服务可以取得相似的效果。
