• Study description:
  The SITS-IVT>80 years is a retrospective study based on datacollected in the SITS-ISTR setting from acute ischemic strokepatients > 80 years of age. The study aims to evaluate theincidence rate with 95% CI of SICH, death and functionalindependence/favourable outcome within 90 days for ischaemicstroke patients treated with rt-PA in clinical routine settings. Inthe proposed SITS-IVT>80 years study using the SITS registrywe plan to identify approximately 1000 patients older than 80years treated with IV Alteplase otherwise fulfilling SmPCcriteria in the post-approval period of 3 years (from 1 July 2018to 30 June 2021) and also to identify 1000 patients older than 80years treated with IV Alteplase otherwise fulfilling SmPCcriteria in the pre-approval period of 3 years (from June 2015 toJune 2018). In both periods, at least 500 patients should beregistered from centres of European countries being part of themutual recognition.The objective of the SITS-IVT>80 years is to compare the safetyand other outcome parameters between the post-approval >80years and pre-approval >80 years AIS patients using the dataalready collected in SITS-ISTR.
