Methods
Stroke, Door‐to‐Needle, cognitive impairment, venous thromboembolism
COMPLICATIONS, STROKE
This study was a randomized controlled trial. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 126 patients were randomly assigned into two groups, namely the control group and the predictive nursing intervention group. Both groups were treated with thrombolytic therapy with alteplase. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing intervention and the predictive nursing intervention group received additional predictive care. Neurologic functions and cognitive impairment were evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl‐Meyer assessment (FMA), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and mini‐mental state examination (MMSE) scales, respectively. Door‐to‐Needle Times, venous thromboembolism (VTE)‐related parameters, and complications were recorded.
