Summary

Adherence to current stroke performance measures did not improve functional outcomes for ischemic stroke survivors. New measures are needed to enhance recovery and quality of life after stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Poststroke functional outcome significantly impacts stroke survivors' quality of life.
  • Current stroke performance measures aim to standardize care and improve patient outcomes.
  • Assessing adherence to these measures is crucial for evaluating their effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if adherence to existing stroke performance measures is associated with better functional outcomes 90 days after ischemic stroke.
  • To analyze the relationship between aggregate adherence scores and activities of daily living (ADL/IADL) scores.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi cohort (n=565) from February 2009 to June 2012.
  • Utilized binary defect-free care and opportunity scores (0-1) to quantify adherence to 7 ischemic stroke performance measures.
  • Employed Tobit regression models to assess the association between adherence and 90-day ADL/IADL scores, adjusting for covariates.

Main Results:

  • Neither the opportunity score (P=.67) nor defect-free care (P=.92) showed a statistically significant association with functional outcome after adjustment.
  • The median ADL/IADL score was 2.32, indicating moderate functional impairment.
  • A majority of patients (58.4%) received defect-free care, and the median opportunity score was 1, suggesting high adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Current composite stroke performance measures were not associated with improved functional outcomes in this ischemic stroke population.
  • There is a need to develop and implement novel performance measures that demonstrably correlate with enhanced functional recovery.
  • Future quality improvement initiatives should focus on performance measures directly linked to better poststroke functional outcomes.
