4 Stroke center designations Acute Stroke Ready hospital (2015?) Serves rural population where large distance from PSC or CSC Designation not yet available Primary Stroke Center (PSC) 2003 Acute stroke team Emergency department Stroke unit Neurosurgical services Imaging, laboratory services Rehab services Stroke registry with outcomes Educational programs Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) 2012 PSC requirements and Volume criteria Aneurysm coiling/clipping IV tpa administration Catheter angiography and advanced imaging NICU with dedicated beds Peer review Stroke research Performance measures

5 What is certification? Certification recognizes centers that follow best practices for stroke care Driven by randomized data, guidelines, and consensus opinion Expectations include Standardized delivery of care Demonstrate compliance with clinical practice guidelines by the AHA/ASA or equivalent evidence-based guidelines. Performance measurement and improvement

6 Benefit of CSC

7 Benefit of CSC Meretoja et al. Study of effectiveness of PSCs and CSCs in Finland > 61,000 patients included Centers defined by most of criteria published by BAC Compared patients with 1 st time ischemic stroke admitted to PSC/CSC vs general hospital Triage largely determined by geography Meretoja A, et al. Stroke 2010; 41:

8 Benefit of CSC Meretoja et al. CSC/ PSC compared with the general hospitals CSC PSC 1 year case-fatality reduction 16% 11% Absolute reduction in death 2.4% 1.5% Absolute risk reduction of institutional care at 1 year 1% Meretoja A, et al. Stroke 2010; 41:

28 Triage by severity and time

29 Triage dilemma Patients need to be treated FAST Severely affected patients may benefit from a CSC which may require longer transport.

30 Triage by severity and time Time remains the most important variable affecting response to treatment. Guidelines have promoted triage of stroke patients to the nearest Primary Stroke Center (PSC) This has resulted in an increase in delivery of IV tpa However, IV tpa does not work well with large blood vessel blockages Grotta JC. Stroke 2013; 44:

31 Early Recanalization The greatest benefit is achieved with EARLY IV tpa administration (early recanalization) Greatest benefit within 90 minutes 1 Strong correlation between recanalization and good functional outcome at 3 months when compared with non-recanalized patients. 2 Odds ratio 4.43 [95% CI, 3.32 to 5.91] 1.

33 Optimizing revascularization Location of vessel occlusion is important Medium and large vessel occlusions

34 Thrombolysis in small vessel disease A good outcome from IV thrombolysis is more common in stroke due to small vessel disease than other subtypes patients treated with IV tpa Stroke Subtype n Excellent outcome, mrs 0-1 Large artery atherosclerosis 217 (23%) OR 0.69 [CI ] Cardioembolic 389 (41%) OR 0.80 [CI ] Small vessel disease 101 (11%) OR 2.48 [CI ] Other 27 (2.8%) OR 0.32 [CI ] Undetermined 130 (14%) OR 1.85 [CI ] 1.

38 Endovascular therapies for acute ischemic stroke Intra-arterial tpa Several randomized trials and case series have led to endorsement by multiple organizations American Heart Association recommendation for endovascular stroke therapy: 1 Class I, Level of evidence B recommendation for IA thrombolysis in select patients under 6 hours from symptom onset due to MCA occlusion Class II, Level of evidence B recommendation for mechanical thrombus extraction 1.

41 Tiered regional EMS triage

42 Tiered regional EMS triage Tier One: Mild stroke symptoms LAMS score 1-2 Triage to highest center within 20 minutes Likely needs IV tpa, less likely needs more aggressive therapy 45 minute ground transport region marked in green

43 Tiered regional EMS triage Tier Two: Moderate to severe stroke symptoms LAMS score 3-5, or drowsy, or impaired consciousness Triage directly to comprehensive stroke center 45 minute ground transport region marked in green

44 Adjunctive support from CSC Telestroke communications Assist with tpa administration decisions Triage patients to stay at local site or transfer for more aggressive therapy 45 minute ground transport region marked in green

45 Adjunctive support from CSC Transfer Ability to receive inter-hospital transfers of complex stroke patients or those who have worsened. 45 minute ground transport region marked in green
