Abstract
About one third of mild stroke patients were not functionally independent at 90 days, irrespective of treatment or mild definition applied, calling into question the treatment efficacy of IV rtPA for mild strokes and what constitutes an appropriate definition of “mild.” Randomized studies are necessary to determine rtPA treatment efficacy in mild stroke patients.
