Abstract

Previously in The Journal, Harrar et al (J Pediatr 2020;216:136-41.e6. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpeds.2019.09.027) reported that the use of a pediatric stroke code system could decrease median time to just over an hour from emergency department arrival to neuroimaging. Timely diagnosis is prerequisite in order to initiate interventional therapies quickly and improve neurologic outcomes. Time is brain! However, this prior study analyzed data from only one advanced, tertiary children's hospital.
