No gender disparity was found in DTN, discharge outcome, and 90 days among rtPA recipients. Females tended to have higher NIHSS and relatively delayed presentation to ER with less favorable outcome at discharge and 90 days in case of not receiving rtPA. Encouraging earlier arrival and conducting awareness campaigns for risk factors management is warranted.
