Association between patient outcomes and key performance indicators of stroke care quality: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Translating research evidence into clinical practice often uses key performance indicators to monitor quality of care. We conducted a systematic review to identify the stroke key performance indicators used in large registries, and to estimate their association with patient outcomes.

Method

We sought publications of recent (January 2000-May 2017) national or regional stroke registers reporting the association of key performance indicators with patient outcome (adjusting for age and stroke severity).
