Stroke, Acute Clinical Trial
Official title:
TELEstroke to CAre for STroke Patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center During the COVID-19 Pandemic
TELEstroke to CAre for STroke Patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center (TELECAST-CSC) during the COVID-19 pandemic is a pre-post study evaluating guideline-based acute ischemic stroke care following the implementation of inpatient telestroke at a comprehensive stroke center during the COVID-19 global pandemic. TELECAST-CSC compares two cohorts: the "in-person phase" (December 1, 2019-March 15, 2020), when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered conventionally in-person and the "telestroke phase" (March 16, 2020-June 29, 2020) when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered exclusively via telestroke as part of our healthcare system's pandemic response. We studied the following primarily clinical endpoints: diagnostic stroke evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, health screening and evaluation, stroke education, mortality, and stroke recurrence and readmission rates.
The SARS-Cov-2 virus originated in Wuhan China in 2019 and rapidly became a global pandemic. Beyond the pandemic, stroke care is further impacted directly by COVID-19-induced systemic inflammatory response and coagulopathy which leads to increased risk of embolic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. In the United States, the highest level of stroke care is provided to the most critically ill stroke patients at comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs). Many CSCs also utilize telestroke to deliver remote stroke care externally to partnering spoke hospitals without local stroke expertise in order to improve time-sensitive, emergent stroke interventions such as thrombolysis and thrombectomy. Conceptually, telestroke may also surmount pandemic-related barriers to stroke care delivery internally at CSCs and workflows incorporating telestroke have been adopted out of necessity. However, the efficacy of remote patient care via telestroke for stroke patients hospitalized at CSCs remains unclear. The aim of the TELECAST-CSC trial was to prospectively evaluate whether inpatient stroke specialist care provided via telestroke was equivalent to stroke care provided in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic. TELECAST-CSC compares two cohorts: the "in-person phase" (December 1, 2019-March 15, 2020), when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered conventionally in-person and the "telestroke phase" (March 16, 2020-June 29, 2020) when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered exclusively via telestroke as part of our healthcare system's pandemic response. We studied the following primarily clinical endpoints: diagnostic stroke evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, health screening and evaluation, stroke education, and stroke recurrence rates. ;
