Umberto Pensato on Reperfusion Outcomes in Stroke
Umberto Pensato, Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Humanitas University, Research Collaborator at the University of Calgary, shared on LinkedIn:

Moreover, both relative and absolute treatment effects should be considered for treatment decision-making.
Notably, this opinion paper was born from a vivid discussion about a single patient with my Canadian mentors: Michael Hill, Bijoy Menon, Johanna Ospel, Andrew Demchuk; Humanitas University; University of Calgary; American Heart Association”
