Telemedicine-supported Management for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Ischemic Stroke

In brief

Telemedicine-supported stroke care can provide standardized guidance to hospitals and regions with limited medical resources, thereby improving treatment outcomes for stroke patients in these areas. While this approach has been widely adopted in many developed countries, its efficacy in guiding basic-level hospitals to manage acute ischemic stroke requires further investigation through large-scale, high-quality studies. This study focused on patients with acute ischemic stroke who sought treatment at basic-level hospitals, aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of treating acute ischemic stroke with telemedicine-supported management. Hospitals assigned to the experimental group received remote consultation guidance, quality control and professional training from expert teams at leading stroke centers, China National Center for Neurological Disorders. Hospitals in the control group did not receive telemedicine-supported management.
