Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current primary outcome measures as of 29/12/2021: The following data will be collected for all subjects within 12 months prior to the index stroke hospitalization through medical records review: 1. Medical history 2. Alcohol consumption 3. CHA2DS2 VASc Score (most recent within 12 months prior to index hospitalization) 4. Lab tests: CRP, BNP (most recent within 12 months prior to index hospitalization) The following data will be collected for all subjects at index stroke hospitalization through medical records review: 1. Hospitalization dates (e.g., admission, discharge) 2. Neurology diagnostic testing 3. EP consultation 4. Short-term/external monitors, wearables, and/or ICM recommendation (if applicable) 5. Short-term/external monitors, wearables, and/or ICM use (if applicable) The following data will be collected for all subjects at follow-up visits through 180 days post-index stroke hospitalization (i.e. discharge) through medical records review: 1. Discharge location (SNF, inpatient, home, etc.) 2. Prescribed stroke-related follow-up cadence (office and remote) 3. Stroke-related follow-up dates 4. Neurology diagnostic testing The following economic data evaluated through medical records and hospital cost/charge accounting data for all subjects at 30-, 60-, 90-, 180-days post-hospital discharge: 1. Total cost of stroke diagnostic work-up for index hospitalization and through 180 days follow-up 2. Total cost of index stroke hospitalization 3. Total cost short-term/external monitoring 4. Total cost pre- and post-ICM insertion 5. Total cost of care 30, 60, 90, 180 days post-stroke, including cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation (AF) healthcare utilization costs 6. Total cost of stroke readmissions and stroke recurrences, including healthcare utilization _____ Previous primary outcome measures: The following information will be collected through medical records and hospital cost/charge accounting data within 12 months prior to the index stroke hospital | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current secondary outcome measures as of 29/12/2021: The previous secondary outcome measures are now primary outcome measures, therefore there are currently no secondary outcome measures. _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: Evaluated through medical records and hospital cost/charge accounting data at 30-, 60-, 90-, 180-days post-hospital discharge: 1. Total cost of stroke diagnostic work-up for index hospitalization and through 180 days follow-up 2. Total cost of index stroke hospitalization 3. Total cost short-term/external monitoring 4. Total cost pre- and post-ICM insertion 5. Total cost of care 30, 60, 90, 180 days post-stroke, including cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation (AF) healthcare utilization costs 6. Total cost of stroke readmissions and stroke recurrences, including healthcare utilization | — |
