Effect of Workflow Improvements on Time to Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the MR CLEAN Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insight in the effect of workflow improvements can help to minimize the time between onset of ischemic stroke and start of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The authors aimed to assess the implementation of EVT workflow strategies and their effect on time to treatment.

Methods

The authors used data from the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in The Netherlands) registry and included patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation, who underwent EVT between March 2014 and November 2017. Data on implementation of 20 predefined workflow improvement strategies during the study period were collected from each intervention center. Multilevel linear regression with a random intercept for ce
