Three categories of patients were analyzed: (1) patients who arrived directly at the thrombectomy hospital and had EVT, (2) patients who were transferred in from a nonthrombectomy hospital and had EVT, and (3) patients at a nonthrombectomy hospital who were potentially eligible for EVT, received intravenous thrombolysis, and were transferred out. The primary end point of this study for thrombectomy hospitals was door-to-puncture time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In direct-arriving EVT patients, 2 Target Stroke Phase III strategies were independently associated with shorter door-to-puncture time: (1) alerting the neurointerventional team based on emergency medical services prenotification (\u221221.9 [95% CI, \u221242.5 to \u22121.3] minutes) and (2) performance of a brain computed tomography and computed tomography angiography in all patients presenting \u226424 hours from time last known well (\u22126.6 [95% CI, \u221211.8 to \u22121.5] minutes).
