    • eSTK5 false positive fallout will increase and not reflect the patient's actual clinical care.

      Hello, For inpatients who develop acute ischemic stroke during their stay, does the antithrombotic by EOD#2 requirement still apply? Or would these cases be considered exceptions to this measure? If not, would they be classified as fallout? Thank you
