US Surveillance of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient Characteristics, Care Quality, and Outcomes for 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The United States lacks a timely and accurate nationwide surveillance system for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We use the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry to apply poststratification survey weights to generate national assessment of AIS epidemiology, hospital care quality, and in-hospital outcomes.

Methods

Clinical data from the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry were weighted using a Bayesian interpolation method anchored to observations from the national inpatient sample. To generate a US stroke forecast for 2019, we linearized time trend estimates from the national inpatient sample to project anticipated AIS hospital volume, distribution, and race/ethnicity characteristics for the year 2019. Primary measures of AIS epidemiology and clinical care incl
