Bloodletting Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen Dpt. of Neurology built in 1890
Since 1995 Prospective data collection for quality assurance and development of marker of quality in stroke care* *Heuschmann et al, Stroke 2006;37;2573-2551 100 years later… >150stroke units in the states of Germany In the early 90s: Development of the german stroke unit concept and implementation in stroke care, supported by the public health system
Stroke Unit in Germany • Central reading • Blood pressure • Heart rate • ECG with automated arrhythmia detection • Oxygen saturation • Breathing rate • Temperature • Equipment • Monitor • Oxygen • Suction devices
Optimized management of care with a Stroke Unit Emergency medical service gives basic information by call Emergency dpt. CCT or MRI Stroke Unit 10 20 30 40 Minuten rtPA Neurologist on duty Anamnesis, clinical status, Lab (EKG, Ultrasound) CCT or DWI MRI (CTAngio, DSA, Xray) Stroke TEAM treatment Basic therapy Monitoring further diagnostics
Advantages of a Stroke Unit • Admission as early as possible • Organisation of emergency medical service • Specialized staff • Fast diagnosis • Modern treatment strategies • Short hospital stay • Early physio- and speechtherapy • Early Rehabilitation
Admission • demographic data • Time of stroke, of admission • clinical scales like NIHSS & mRS before admission • dependency status • Hospital inpatient stay • diagnostic procedures • medical treatment & additional procedures • complications • duration of symptoms • Stroke classification according to TOAST • Findings of MRI and CT scan • End of inpatient treatment • secondary prophylaxis (antiplatelets, statins…) • diagnosis according to ICD-10 • clinical scales like NIHSS, mRS, Barthel Index • rehabilitation status (discharge or appointment for rehab.)
Sanctions in case of incomplete documentation • Data were compared with ICD data of the health insurance • If the rate of QA documentation is below 80% a reduction of payment follows • These mechanisms provides a nearly complete documentation of stroke patients Scientific evaluation A data core set of all QA documentations in the different states of germany is given to the ADSR (German Stroke Register Study Group) for further evaluation
male female 21.350 stroke patients (2006 in Hesse) Mean age 73.3y Age
Risk factors 89% of all patients have at least one risk factor % of patients in history
Diagnoses in Stroke 5% unk ICH TIA Infarction 61%
Early treatment in acute stroke (only patients with cerebral infarction, n=13129) 3,5% 65% 16% 78%
Thrombolysis in acute stroke (pat. with cerebral infarction arrived within 3h, n=2402) rate of 19,3%
End of hospital treatment (n=21.350) • Length of stay: 9,5 days (mean) • Treatment on the Stroke Unit: 3,9 days (mean) Discharge • Home 50% • Inpatient Rehabilitation 29% • Nursing home 6% • died in hospital 6%
