And since no hospital is reporting on their 30-day deaths. You can't improve a damn thing if you don't measure it. THAT'S HOW FUCKING BAD THE STROKE MEDICAL WORLD IS! TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!
“What's measured, improves.” So said management legend and author Peter F. Drucker
Pragmatic solutions to reduce the global burden of stroke: a World Stroke Organization–Lancet Neurology Commission
Executive Summary
The burden of
mortality and disability caused by stroke is rapidly increasing
worldwide, particularly in countries where the resources to tackle this
burden are scarce. However, the implementation of evidence-based
interventions could reverse these epidemiological trajectories. A large
proportion of strokes can be prevented and, for most patients who
present to a stroke unit during the first few hours after the onset of
symptoms, treatment can improve survival and functional outcomes(But not 100% recovery! So I consider that complete failure!).
Furthermore, rehabilitation interventions can reduce disability(But not 100% recovery! So I consider that complete failure!) in
stroke survivors, improving quality of life for patients and carers.
In this Lancet Neurology
Commission, the World Stroke Organisation (WSO) draws up its roadmap to
tackle the burden of stroke by 2030 and beyond, in line with the UN
Sustainable Development Goal on health and wellbeing. If implemented by
policy makers, in collaboration with stakeholders(I expect dozens of survivors invited to be main contributors!) in every country, the
WSO recommendations could lead to substantial improvements in
prevention of stroke, acute treatment, and rehabilitation worldwide. The
Commission also provides guidance on the epidemiological surveillance
necessary to monitor progress.
