Interventions
Behavioral: multilevel system intervention based on information platform
Registration Number
NCT05852080
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

A prospective, multicenter and cluster randomised controlled trial will be conducted, using hospital as randomisation unit. Hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China, will be randomised into two arms (1:1): an intervention arm and a control arm. Hospitals in the intervention arm will receive a multilevel system intervention based on information platform, whereas hospitals in the control arm will receive no intervention. The randomisation will be conducted after baseline data collection. The following baseline data will be used for randomisation match: hospital classification, beds in stroke centre, and the number of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients within 7 days of stroke onset. Hospitals with \<250 AIS cases per year will be excluded from the study. The primary outcome will be difference between intervention arm and control arm in the one-year stroke recurrence rate on the follow-up stage (post-intervention).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence rate of new ischemic stroke events1 year

To evaluate the efficacy of intervention in reducing the risk of new ischemic stroke events at 1 year after initial symptom onset.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All-cause mortality1, 3, 5 years

All-cause mortality

Incidence rate of new clinical vascular events (ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction)1, 3, 5 years

incidence rate of new clinical vascular events (ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction) at 1, 3, 5 years after initial symptom onset.

The percentage of stroke of undetermined cause at discharge1 year

The percentage of stroke of undetermined cause at discharge

Incidence rate of new ischemic stroke events3, 5 years

Incidence rate of new ischemic stroke events at 3, 5 years after initial symptom onset.

Rate of blood vessel assessment within one week of hospitalization1 year

The rate of patients with cerebral infarction hospitalized for 1 week who had completed the evaluation of the blood vessels in the neck and cranial (such as the ultrasound of the blood vessels in the neck or cranial, CT or MR angiography, or DSA) in the total number of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in the same period

Rate of antithrombotic therapy at discharge1 year

The rate of patients with cerebral infarction who received antithrombotic drugs (such as aspirin, other antiplatelet agents, heparin, warfarin or new oral anticoagulants) at discharge in the total number of hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction in the same period.

Rate of anticoagulant treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at discharge1 year

The rate of patients with cerebral infarction complicated with atrial fibrillation who received anticoagulants (e.g., heparin, low molecular heparin, warfarin, new oral anticoagulants) at discharge in the total number of patients with cerebral infarction complicated with atrial fibrillation treated in hospital in the same period
