Delphi Consensus Survey

This study aims to establish an international consensus on the essential requirements to provide mechanical thrombectomy care for patients with large vessel occlusion stroke in low-resource settings. 

 

We are gathering insights from medical practitioners worldwide who perform mechanical thrombectomy to understand what they believe are the minimum, essential human resources, systems and infrastructure necessary to perform the procedure safely and effectively. 

 

Additionally, we aim to determine the differences between practitioners perception of the minimal requirements versus the optimal or desired resources. These findings will help guide healthcare systems and policymakers in developing mechanical thrombectomy program as part of their national or regional stroke programs

 

 

Global Stroke Outcomes Study

Our objective for this project is to provide a snapshot of the current global management and outcomes of AIS secondary to large vessel occlusion. We will accomplish this by 1) determining the systems process of sites caring for patients with AIS, 2) describing differences in clinical management of patients with AIS, and 3) documenting 30-day outcomes of patients with AIS. This supports our long-term objective of bringing modern, evidence-based, stroke management techniques to areas that demonstrate the most significant need and opportunity for morbidity and mortality reduction. These objectives will support our big-picture mission of helping to reduce the global burden of stroke.

 

This study is an international, prospective, observational cohort study. Any hospital or clinic responsible for managing patients with AIS will be eligible to participate in this study. International sites will participate and prospectively collect data on patients presenting with AIS during a pre-defined 30-day enrollment period. Enrolled patients will be followed until death, discharge or up to 30 days from stroke onset (whichever comes first).
