Online Database Study for Managing Quality of Acute Stroke Care in China

What this Trial Is About

The burden of stroke has increased significantly in China over the past 30 years, making it the leading cause of death. Researchers aim to improve data collection and medical quality management by creating an online database for acute stroke patients. This prospective multi-center study focuses on patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive reperfusion therapy and are hospitalized for stroke treatment. Data from these patients are collected through an emergency platform and a stroke medical quality control platform. The information recorded includes demographics, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, prior antiplatelet use, timing from stroke onset to hospital arrival, baseline stroke severity scores, infarct volume, and laboratory results. The study also provides education to participating centers to help clinicians improve medical quality. Participants clinical outcomes are assessed at 3 months and 1 year, focusing on independence measured by the modified Rankin Scale mRS. Additional outcomes include mortality, brain hemorrhage occurrence shortly after hospitalization, and the incidence of recurrent stroke or other vascular events at 1 and 5 years. The study is observational and involves no experimental treatment, lasting several years to track long-term outcomes.
