Background And Purpose: Patients with acute ischaemic stroke and a large vessel occlusion who present to a non-endovascular-capable centre often require inter-hospital transfer for thrombectomy. Whether the inter-hospital transfer time is associated with 3-month functional outcome is poorly known.
Methods: Acute stroke patients enrolled between January 2015 and December 2022 in the prospective French multicentre Endovascular Treatment of Ischaemic Stroke registry were retrospectively analysed.
