The Relationship

Background: Stroke quality metrics play an increasingly important role in quality improvement efforts and policies, but the relationship between quality metrics and patient-orientated outcomes are not well described. We conducted a systematic review of observational hospital-based studies examining this relationship. Methods: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for studies published before December 31, 2010 that examined the relationship between 2 or more stroke quality metrics and patient-oriented outcomes in acute stroke admissions. Outcomes included mortality, length of stay, discharge to home, functional status, and stroke recurrence. Results: A total of 470 hits were identified. After screening the titles and abstracts, 27 studies underwent full review, and 14 were deemed eligible. Given the variation in study characteristics, quality metrics, and outcomes utilized, it was not possible to generate summary estimates describing the relationship between quality metric compliance and patient-oriented outcomes. Evidence of a positive relationship between quality metrics and improved patient outcomes was limited by the lack of high quality studies. Four of the 14 studies found a statistically significant relationship between increased compliance with acute care quality metrics and improved patient-oriented outcomes. Two studies failed to find an association between acute care measures and improved outcomes, but did find statistically significant positive relationships between compliance with post-acute rehabilitation measures and improved patient outcomes. Five other studies reported mixed findings, while the remaining three found no relationships. Conclusions: We found a limited evidence-base addressing the impact of compliance on stroke quality metrics and patient-oriented outcomes. Generation of data clarifying the relationship between compliance with stroke quality metrics and stroke-related outcomes should be prioritized so that the current investments undertaken to improve stroke care can be sustained.

AbstractBackground:Pharmacists have become an integral member of the multidisciplinary team providing clinical patient care in various healthcare settings. Although evidence supporting their role in the care of patients with other disease states is well-established, minimal literature has been published evaluating pharmacist interventions in stroke patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence evaluating the impact of pharmacist interventions on stroke patient outcomes.Methods: Study abstracts and full-text articles evaluating the impact of a pharmacist intervention on outcomes in patients with an acute stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a history of an acute stroke/TIA were identified and a qualitative analysis performed.Results: A total of 20 abstracts and full-text studies were included. The included studies provided evidence supporting pharmacist interventions in multiple settings, including emergency departments, inpatient, outpatient, and community pharmacy settings. In a significant proportion of the studies, pharmacist care was collaborative with other healthcare professionals. Some of the pharmacist interventions included participation in a stroke response team, assessment for thrombolytic use, medication reconciliation, participation in patient rounds, identification and resolution of drug therapy problems, risk-factor reduction, and patient education. Pharmacist involvement was associated with increased use of evidence-based therapies, medication adherence, risk-factor target achievement, and maintenance of health-related quality of life.Conclusions: Available evidence suggests that a variety of pharmacist interventions can have a positive impact on stroke patient outcomes. Pharmacists should be considered an integral member of the stroke patient care team.
