Background and Purpose - A retrospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted to document clinical outcomes and to identify outcome predictors in patients treated with low-dose intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (0.6 mg/kg alteplase), which was approved in Japan in 2005, within 3 hours of stroke onset.Methods - Consecutive patients with stroke treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in 10 Japanese stroke centers were included.Results - A total of 600 patients (377 men, 72 +/- 12 years old) were studied. Median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores decreased from 13 before recombinant tissue plasminogen activator to 8 at 24 hours later. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage within 36 hours with a >= 1-point increase from the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score developed in 23 patients (3.8%; 95% CI, 2.6% to 5.7%). At 3 months, 43 patients had died (7.2%; 5.4% to 9.5%), and 199 patients (33.2%; 29.5% to 37.0%) had a modified Rankin Scale score
