In-Hospital Versus Out-Of-Hospital Stroke Onset Comparison of Process Metrics in a Community Primary

Objective

To examine in-hospital stroke onset metrics and outcomes, quality of care, and mortality compared with out-of-hospital stroke in a single community-based primary stroke center.

Conclusions

The key findings in this study were that time-sensitive stroke process metrics and stroke outcome measures were superior for the out-of-hospital groups compared with the in-hospital groups. Focusing on improving time-sensitive stroke process metrics may improve outcomes in the in-hospital stroke cohort.
