Time for "Code ICH"? Workflow Metrics of Hyperacute Treatments and Outcome in Patients with Intracerebral Haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Knowledge about uptake and workflow metrics of hyperacute treatments in patients with non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in the emergency department is scarce.

Methods

Single-centre retrospective study of consecutive patients with ICH between 01/2018-08/2020. We assessed uptake and workflow metrics of acute therapies overall and according to referral mode (stroke code, transfer from other hospital, or other).

Results

We enrolled 332 patients (age 73 years, IQR: 63-81 and GCS 14 points, IQR: 11-15, onset-to-admission time 284 min, IQR: 111-708 min), of whom 101 patients (35%) had lobar haematoma. Mode of referral was stroke code in 129 patients (38%), transfer from other hospital in 143 patients (43%), and arrival by other means in 60 patients (
