- Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
- Brief Summary
Study is designed for two parts, a perspective, multi-center, historial control study and a randomized controlled study of acute ischemic stroke patients. For achieving the target of diagnosis and treatment KPI (Key performance indicator) of AIS patients and improving the defects of the traditional working mode, our center developed the medical records data acquisition and KPI statistics system based on computer scan. This method guarantees the authenticity of the data, It computes the KPI of the corresponding medical institutions in the corresponding period and gives feedback on a regular basis. Based on the KPI feedback system, a multifaceted quality improvement intervention is conducted in the intervention group hospitals. This study aims to explore whether this new working mode can continuously improve the overall KPI in Zhejiang province, and thus reflect the improvement of quality and standardization of medical service in AIS patients.
- Detailed Description
Study population:patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to the hospital within 7 days after the initial symptom onset.
Program:
There are multifaceted quality improvement interventions including:
1. Implementation of standardized templates of medical record, evidence-based clinical pathway, and written care protocols.
2. Feedback system of performance measures.
3. Expert online consultation.
Endpoints:
Primary outcome:increase of diagnosis and treatment key performance indicator for acute ischemic stroke patients; Secondary outcome: the occurrence of ischemic stroke, total mortality, disability, and new clinical vascular events.

Group Intervention Description the response of KPI and corresponding suggestion the response of KPI and corresponding suggestion The hospitals will receive their own monthly KPI and the monthly highest KPI of all hospitals included in the study. Based on the compare of the monthly KPI of all hospitals, Quality control platform will give corresponding suggestions to all hospitals for the improve of next month. The multifaceted quality improvement interventions include: 1) implementation of standardized templates of medical record, evidence-based clinical pathway, and written care protocols; 2) feedback system of performance measures; 3) expert online consultation.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of antithrombotic therapy at discharge six month 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.
a all-or-none measure of evidence-based performance measures participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks the all-or-none measure was defined as the proportion of patients who received all of the performance measures for which the patient was eligible.
Rate of statin use during hospitalization six month The rate of patients hospitalized for cerebral infarction who were treated with statins in the total number of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in the same period
Rate of administration of aspirin or other antiplatelet agents within 48 hours of admission six month The rate of patients who received aspirin or other antiplatelet agents within 48 hours of admission to the hospital in the total number of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in the same period
Rate of neurological deficit score six month the rate of the case number of cerebral infarction patients who have completed the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at the time of admission in the total number of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in the same period
Rate of intravenous tPA within therapeutic time windows at symptom onset six month the rate of AIS patients who received intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-pa) thrombolytic therapy within therapeutic time windows at symptom onset in patients with cerebral infarction
Rate of statin treatment at discharge six month The rate of patients with cerebral infarction who received statin at discharge in the total number of patients with non-cardiac infarction who were hospitalized in the same period
Rate of anticoagulant treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at discharge six month 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
a composite measure score of performance measures participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks a composite measure score, defined as the total number of interventions performed among eligible patients divided by the total number of possible interventions among eligible patients, were also calculated.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of prevention of deep vein thrombosis six month The rate of patients who were unable to get out of bed for cerebral infarction within 48 hours of admission that were given prophylactic measures including heparin and/or DVT (Deep vein thrombosis) in patients who were unable to get out of bed for cerebral infarction treated in hospital in the same period

Distribution of Modified Rankin Score 1-year Distribution of Modified Rankin Score at discharge, 1-year after initial symptom onset.
Rate of blood vessel assessment within one week of hospitalization six month 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 Patients with diabetes were given hypoglycemic drug treatment at discharge six month The rater of patients with cerebral infarction complicated with diabetes who were given hypoglycemic drugs at discharge in the total number of patients with cerebral infarction complicated with diabetes treated in hospital in the same period
Rate of rehabilitation evaluation and implementation six month The rate of cerebral infarction patients who received rehabilitation evaluation and implementation during the hospital period (48 hours after the patient's condition was stable) in the total number of patients who were hospitalized during the same period.
