| Abstract |
Background: Admission outside normal business hours has been associated with prolonged door-to-treatment times and poorer patient outcomes, the so called "weekend effect. " This is the first examination of the weekend effect in a telestroke service that uses multi-modal computed tomography. Aims: To examine differences in workflow and triage between in-hours and out-of-hours calls to a telestroke service. Methods: All patients assessed using the Northern New South Wales (N-NSW) telestroke service from April 2013 to January 2019 were eligible for inclusion (674 in total; 539 with complete data). The primary outcomes measured were differences between in-hours and out-of-hours in door-to-call-to-decision-to-needle times, differences in the proportion of patients confirmed to have strokes or of patients selected for reperfusion therapies or patients with a modified Rankin Score (mRS ≤ 2) at 90 days. Results: There were no significant differences between in-hours and out-of-hours in any of the measured times, nor in the proportions of patients confirmed to have strokes (67.6 and 69.6%, respectively, p = 0.93); selected for reperfusion therapies (22.7 and 22.6%, respectively, p = 0.56); or independent at 3 months (34.8 and 33.6%, respectively, p = 0.770). There were significant differences in times between individual hospitals, and patient presentation more than 4.5 h after symptom onset was associated with slower times (21 minute delay in door-to-call, p = 0.002 and 22 min delay in door-to-image, p = 0.001). Conclusions: The weekend effect is not evident in the Northern NSW telestroke network experience, though this study did identify some opportunities for improvement in the delivery of acute stroke therapies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 March 2020.
All research outputs
#20,608,970
of 23,197,711 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#9,098
of 12,130 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#305,886
of 360,243 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#246
of 303 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,197,711 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,130 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 360,243 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 303 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
