- The study investigated how socioeconomic status (SES) affects the choice of thrombolytic agent and patient outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment, comparing alteplase and tenecteplase.
- Data was collected from 78 AIS patients at a tertiary care center in India, revealing that higher SES patients predominantly chose alteplase, while lower SES patients favored tenecteplase.
- Despite the differences in drug preference based on SES, no significant disparities in clinical outcomes (measured by NIHSS and mRS scores) were found among the different SES groups.
