What is the impact of integrated systems of stroke care on 30-day mortality?
A retrospective analysis conducted by Ganesh et al. (2016) found that integrated systems of stroke care are associated with a reduction in 30-day mortality. The analysis found that stroke care processes such as prehospital triage and treatment with intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy were associated with better outcomes. The authors concluded that integrated systems of stroke care should be implemented to improve patient outcomes in stroke care.
