Acute stroke: evaluation and treatment.

Authors' objectives The purpose of this report is to systematically review the available literature in the field of acute stroke evaluation and treatment in the following three areas: (1) what interventions in acute stroke (<24 hours from onset) are effective in reducing morbidity and mortality? (2) how does the safety and effectiveness of these interventions vary by timing in relation to onset of symptoms? (3) what is the evidence that specific systems of care improve outcomes of acute stroke?
