- W2913233406 abstract "Background: The stroke belt has a higher stroke mortality rate compared to other regions of the United States with Alabama recording about 3,000 deaths yearly. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is the only comprehensive stroke center (CSC) in Alabama equipped to manage the most complex stroke patients. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and prognosis of patients transferred to a comprehensive stroke center in the stroke belt. Methods: Data was abstracted from the electronic health records of patients admitted to the stroke service between 2016 and 2018. We assessed differences between transfer and non-transfer patients in terms of demographics, stroke severity, insurance, administration of alteplase (t-PA) and thrombectomy (IA). We also evaluated the relationship between the Alabama state stroke designation of the originating hospital including non-stroke centers (level 0), acute stroke ready hospitals, ASRH (level 3), primary stroke centers, PSC (level 2) and direct admissions to UAB (level 1) and characteristics and prognosis of patients. Results: 1107 patients were assessed for the study with 402(36%) being transfers. Race, NIHSS,TPA and IA use, discharge disposition were associated with the level of stroke center, as shown in the table. Level 2 centers transferred patients with more severe strokes, and a higher proportion of TPA and IA use. Non-transfer patients had the best outcome with Home as their primary discharge location compared to patients transferred from level 2 stroke centers. Conclusion: About 36% of our stroke discharge volume is a result of patients transferred to UAB from outside hospitals. We conclude that Level 2 stroke centers are appropriately transferring patients with more severe stroke to CSCs compared to transfers from non-stroke centers and acute stroke ready hospitals. Some of the patients transferred to a CSC from non-stroke centers and ASRHs could be managed at PSCs." @default.
