Prehospital transfer protocols are based on rapid access to reperfusion therapies for patients with ischemic stroke. The effect of different among receiving a final diagnosis intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unknown.
Previous studies have reported differences in the management and outcome of women stroke patients comparison with men. We aim to analyze sex gender medical assistance, access treatment acute Catalonia.Data were obtained from a prospective population-based registry code activations Catalonia (CICAT) January/2016 December/2019. The includes demographic data, severity, subtype, reperfusion therapy, time workflow. Centralized clinical at 90 days was assessed receiving therapy.A total 23,371...
The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a telestroke network on acute stroke care in Catalonia, by measuring thrombolysis rates, access endovascular treatment, and clinical outcome patients population-based study.Telestroke was implemented March 2013 consists 12 community hospitals 1 expert neurologist 24 h/7 day, covering population 1.3 million inhabitants. Rest (6.2 million) Catalonia is covered 8 primary centers (PSC) 6 comprehensive (CSC). After 2-way videoconference visualization...
