In analyses of 3549 patients arriving within 2 hours of symptom onset, time of day of arrival and weekday versus weekend arrival were no longer significant. Among patients arriving within 2 hours of symptom onset, the strongest independent predictors of meeting the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) guideline were arrival by emergency medical services versus other modes of transportation (odds ratio, 95% CI=2.3 [1.9, 2.8]) and a presumptive diagnosis of transient ischemic attack versus unspecified stroke type (odds ratio, 95% CI=0.4 [0.3, 0.5]).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Most patients do not arrive to the hospital in a timely manner and cannot be considered for time-dependent therapies.
