| Popis: | Objective: We aimed to evaluate which factors contributed to acute ischemic stroke (AIS) following up in stroke clinic post hospitalization. Methods: Single center retrospective analysis of AIS patients from January 2016 to April 2021. Patients were excluded if: died during index hospitalization, discharged to hospice or had incomplete data. We evaluated our primary outcome: factors contributing to patients attending post-discharge appointments and secondary outcome: factors contributing to patients scheduling post-discharge appointments utilizing binomial stepwise logistic regression models. Subgroup analysis compared latency to be seen in follow-up clinic between patients who had an appointment scheduled at discharge compared to those who did not using a Mann-Whitney test. Results: Out of 7960 AIS patients, 2734 were included in this study, 2130 (77.9%) of those patients scheduled an appointment post-discharge, whereas 1649 (60.3%) attended an appointment post-discharge. Patients were more likely to attend a follow-up appointment if scheduled while hospitalized, OR=3.48 [95%CI, 2.94-4.14], p Conclusion: Patients with AIS were more likely to schedule an appointment after initiation of a nurse navigator program. Patients were also more likely to attend post-discharge stroke clinics if their appointments were scheduled during index hospitalization. |
