Brief Summary
This study investigates whether an AI-assisted decision support tool, compared with standard care, increases the proportion of acute ischemic stroke patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis within 24 hours of symptom onset at a primary hospital in China, while also evaluating its impact on clinical outcomes, treatment timelines, and safety.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The proportion of patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis.
24 hours within last known well
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Proportion of patients with an modified Rankin Scale score (the total score ranges from 0 to 6; a higher score indicates a more severe disability) of 0-1 at 90 days
90 days after stroke onset
90-Day modified Rankin Scale score (the total score ranges from 0 to 6; a higher score indicates a more severe disability)
90 days after stroke onset
Early neurological improvement
24 hours after admission
Time from admission to intravenous thrombolysis (DNT) in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis
24 hours within last known well
Other Outcomes (3)
Proportion of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours of thrombolysis
within 36 hours of thrombolysis
Proportion of any type of intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours of thrombolysis
within 36 hours of thrombolysis
90-day all-cause mortality rate.
90 days after stroke onset
Study Arms (2)
AI-Assisted Group
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive care from attending physicians who use the AI-assisted thrombolysis decision support tool in addition to routine assessment, with the final treatment decision left to the physician's clinical judgment.
Standard Treatment Group
NO INTERVENTIONPatients receive standard acute ischemic stroke care according to the hospital's current protocols without the use of the AI tool.
Interventions
The AI-assisted thrombolysis decision support tool is used by attending physicians in addition to routine stroke evaluation. After the physician enters key patient data, the system generates real-time prompts on whether the patient meets criteria for intravenous thrombolysis, recommended additional tests and risk alerts for thrombolysis. The final treatment decision remains with the treating clinician.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years.
- Clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke.
- Onset time (last known well) \<24 hours.
- CT or MRI examination excluding intracerebral hemorrhage.
- Signed informed consent by the patient or a legally authorized representative
You may not qualify if:
- Currently participating in another interventional clinical trial related to drugs or devices.
- Pregnant women.
- Has received intravenous thrombolysis at another hospital.
- Has completed a definitive reperfusion therapy decision at another hospital and is transferred to this hospital solely for follow-up observation or rehabilitation.
