Background: The treatment outcomes in the use of rt-PA have been reported. Some studies reported worse outcome in women than men, while others presented opposing data. Using data from a hospital-based stroke registry, we investigated evidence of gender difference and determined exclusion criteria in a stroke population with incidence of hypertension. Method: In a stroke population of women and men with incident of hypertension from a stroke registry, demographics and clinical factors were compared. Univariate analysis was used to determine gender differences, while multivariable models adjusted for demographic and clinical variables. Results: Among the 669 stroke patients with incident of hypertension that were excluded from rt-PA treatment, 362 were female and 307 were male. Female patients with increasing age (OR = 0.956-0.984, P < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR = 0.095-0.559, P = 0.001), higher NIH stroke scale score (OR = 1.019-1.090, P = 0.002), previous stroke (OR = 0.337-0.850, P = 0.008), diabetes medication (OR = 1.200-7.724, P = 0,019), and INR (OR = 0.033-0.597, P = 0.008) are more likely to be excluded. Male patients with a history of a previous stroke (OR = 0.265-0.704, P = 0.001), risk of mortality (OR = 0.803-0.950, P = 0.002), higher NIH stroke scale score(OR = 1.101-1.276, P < 0.001), cholesterol reducing medication (OR = 1.191-2.910, P = 0.006), weakness at presentation(OR = 1.207-4.421, P = 0.011), and INR (OR = 0.016-0.243, P < 0.001) are more likely to be excluded. Conclusion: Women have a worse outcome than men in an untreated acute ischemic stroke population, but when treated, women have a better treatment outcome compared to men. In a hypertensive stroke population, the clinical variables for the exclusion criteria for women and men are significantly different, even after adjustment for confounding variables.
