Popis: Background and Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the application of iodinated contrast agents before intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) reduces the efficacy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Methods: We analyzed our prospectively collected data of consecutive AIS patients receiving IV rt-PA treatment in the MISSION study. Clinical outcome at 3 months was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and dichotomized into good outcome (0-2) and poor outcome (3-6). Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) was defined as cerebral hemorrhagic transformation in combination with clinical deterioration of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥4 points at 24-hour. We performed logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching analysis to investigate the impact of iodinated contrast agents before IV rt-PA on poor outcome and sICH, respectively. Results: A total of 3593 patients were finally included and iodinated contrast agents were used before IV rt-PA among 859 (23.9%) patients. Patients in the iodinated contrast group were more likely to result in poor outcome (39.9% vs 33.4%, P=0.001) and sICH (3.4% vs 1.5%, P
