The study aimed to assess whether the distance from hospital impacts on the access to IVT for acute ischaemic stroke at the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromsø (UNN Tromsø).</p><p><strong>Material and method: </strong>This prospective quality study included 231 patients admitted with acute ischaemic stroke to UNN in the period 1 January 2019-31 December 2019. The patients were divided into two groups based on vehicle transport time by road to the hospital at symptom onset: the urban cohort (≤ 30 minutes) and the rural cohort (> 30 minutes).

The urban cohort included fewer men (54 % vs. 68 %), a lower proportion with good functional status (a score of 0-1 on the Modified Rankin Scale) before symptom onset (58 % vs. 73 %) and fewer patients admitted via the local out-of-hours medical centre (10 % vs. 28 %) than the rural cohort.
