FLorida Puerto Rico Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Study (FLiPER-AF)

Completed

• Conditions: Atrial Fibrillation

• Registration Number: NCT03627806
• Lead Sponsor: University of Miami

Brief Summary

In this study, FL-PR Stroke Registry will be used to determine novel data on disparities in stroke care and outcomes for patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in 'real life' hospital setting. Investigators will evaluate clinical practice for AF detection and treatment in stroke patients within large stroke hospital systems of care with multi-ethnic patient populations and thereby representative of the states of Florida and Puerto Rico. The results of this study will be of critical importance for secondary stroke prevention by identifying gaps in stroke care for patients with AF and by recognizing the needs for developing targeted interventions to reduce disparities in diverse populations of stroke patients with AF and improve systems of care for all stroke patients with AF.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In-Hospital Quality of Care Acute Stroke Measures	5 years	As measured by modified rankin score (mRS) at discharge (a score that measures the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke). A minimum score of 0 indicates no symptoms and therefore no disability. A maximum score of 6 indicates death has resulted

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Temporal trends of atrial fibrillation for stroke outcomes	5 years	Changes in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its effect on related hospital discharge characteristics among stroke patients
Temporal trends in the frequency of hospital prescriptions for atrial fibrillation monitoring devices	5 years	Changes over the years measured through the quantification of the frequency hospitals prescribe atrial fibrillation monitoring devices (i.e., Holter monitoring and prolonged electrocardiogram monitoring).
Temporal trends in the frequency of hospital prescriptions at discharge of anticoagulants for stroke patients	5 years	Changes over the years measured through the quantification of the frequency hospitals prescribe anticoagulants (i.e., aspirin, warfarin, and novel oral anticoagulants) at discharge
