What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to create a database of patients admitted to the Stroke unit who have given informed consent for data collection. The study aims to gather standard clinical information without performing extra tests. This database will be used for future retrospective research and to monitor key quality indicators in stroke care. Data collected includes demographic details, medical history, neurological evaluations at admission, acute stroke treatments received, hospital course including complications and therapies, results of stroke investigations, and treatments at discharge. The study also tracks functional scores like the modified Rankin Score during follow-up visits at the neurology clinic. Participants will have their routine clinical data recorded from admission through discharge and up to 12 months of follow-up. Researchers will review various outcomes such as patient characteristics, treatment timing, therapy outcomes, complication rates, stroke causes, mortality, and disability. Quality of stroke care will also be evaluated over the follow-up period.
