Stroke Team Remote Evaluation Using a Digital Observation Camera- Long Term Outcomes(STRokE DOC-LTO)

Completed

Brief Summary: SPECIFIC AIM: The specific aims of this study are to evaluate the long term outcomes of patients previously enrolled in the STRokE DOC ("STRokE DOC Trial (NCT00283868)") telemedicine clinical trial.

AIM 1: Aim 1 is a non- randomized, retrospective, data collection study assessing long term patient outcomes of patients previously enrolled in a telemedicine vs. telephone clinical trial (STRokE DOC Trial ("STRokE DOC Trial (NCT00283868)"); now completed). STRokE DOC-LTO will evaluate, (only for those patients previously enrolled in the original telemedicine vs. telephone clinical research trial), the long term patient outcomes; comparing telemedicine versus telephone-only consultations.

Specific Protocol Information: The protocol will contact these patients by telephone. One of 5 Stroke Center team members will contact the patient, using strict telephone scripted language (approved by the IRB) and ask questions regarding

1. current functional status

2. death

3. Hemorrhage

4. Recurrent Stroke

5. Disposition for 3 time periods (6 months after index event, 12 months after index event, and "current" time of contact.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)) at 6 Months After Index Event. The mRS is the Modified Rankin Scale That Measures Patient's Functional Level of Activity. The Scale is a 6 Point Scale With 0 Score Being Normal and 6 Score Being Death.	Patients were all assessed at a single time point (July 2009) for retrospective reporting of how they were at 6 months since initial event (Primary endpoint). The average time per participant relative to the study entry time in concrete units is 6 months	Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)) at 6 months after index event. The mRS is the modified Rankin Scale that measures patient's functional level of activity. The scale is a 6 point scale with 0 score being normal and 6 score being death. Listed below is the number of participants in each group with Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Recurrent Stroke	Patients were all assessed at a single time point (July 2009) for retrospective reporting of how they were at 12 months since initial event (2ndary endpoint). The average time per participant relative to the study entry time in units is 12 months	Assessing amount of patients that had recurrent stroke by 12 months (patients that retrospectively reporting having had a stroke from 6-12 months after their index event)
Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)) at 12 Months After Index Event. The mRS is the Modified Rankin Scale That Measures Patient's Functional Level of Activity. The Scale is a 6 Point Scale With 0 Score Being Normal and 6 Score Being Death.	Patients were all assessed at a single time point (July 2009) for retrospective reporting of how they were at 12 months since initial event (2ndary endpoint). The average time per participant relative to the study entry time in units is 12 months	Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)) at 12 months after index event. The mRS is the modified Rankin Scale that measures patient's functional level of activity. The scale is a 6 point scale with 0 score being normal and 6 score being death. Listed below is the number of participants in each group with Functional Outcome (mRS(0-1)).
