Background: Time to computerized tomography (CT) is important to institute appropriate and timely hyperacute management in stroke. We aimed to evaluate mortality outcomes in relation to age and time to CT scan.
Methods: We used routinely collected data in 8 National Health Service trusts in East of England between September 2008 and April 2011.
Background And Purpose: An accurate prognosis is useful for patients, family, and service providers after acute stroke.
Methods: We validated the Stroke subtype, Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project Classification, Age, and prestroke Rankin stroke score in predicting inpatient and 7-day mortality using data from 8 National Health Service hospital trusts in the Anglia Stroke and Heart Clinical Network between September 2008 and April 2011.
Results: A total of 3547 stroke patients (ischemic, 92%) were included.
