More stupidity, of course people die in the hospital following tPA administration. They have done nothing to stop the neuronal cascade of death. And until that is acknowledged and treated people will continue to die. Damn, must I point out the obvious over and over again.

A study looks at the factors that influence death in the hospital after a stroke.
Treatment with clot-busting drugs such as tissue plasminogen activator
(tPA) is now accepted to be a good way of treating an acute stroke.
Nevertheless, some patients having this treatment still die in hospital.
Researchers at the University of Muenster, Germany, have been looking
at the factors which influence the outcome for patients having tPA
treatment for stroke.
They looked at 1,628 patients admitted with acute stroke in Germany
during 2000 and 2002. Of those who were treated with tPA, ten per cent
died while in hospital – with around two thirds of the deaths occurring
within seven days of admission.(sounds exactly like the neuronal cascade of death) The factors affecting the risk of death
were older age and altered level of consciousness on admission(completely wrong conclusion). And the
researchers also noted that the more experience the hospital had in
using tPA, the less the risk of in-hospital death after treatment. The
researchers say that those who are most at risk of death, even after
clot-busting treatment for stroke, will need to be given extra attention
in hospital.
