CROATIAN EXPERIENCE ON RES-Q REGISTRY FOR MONITORING THE QUALITY OF STROKE CARE DURING 2018 YEAR

Background and Aims: Stroke registry is a tool for improving stroke care and achieving goals pointed in Stroke Action Plan for Europe. The Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) was launched by ESO-EAST (Enhancing and Accelerating Stroke Treatment) in November 2016 to provide a tool for monitoring the quality of stroke care in hospitals throughout Europe. The aim was to show results captured from RESQ registry in Croatia during 2018. Methods: Data on demographics, stroke care pathway, specific acute treatment issues, stroke prevention issues in all acute stroke admissions in Croatia during 2018 through RES-Q registry were analysed. Results: Thirteen out of twenty-three acute hospitals which provide stroke treatment recruited 578 patients during 2018 year. Figure 1. shows map of Croatia with participating centers (in green). Conclusions: Our results showed still low rates of recanalisation therapies across the Croatia. Secondary stroke prevention might be improved by increasing by the usage of statins and performing smoking cessation programs. In future, all stroke centers should be involved in stroke registry to achieve more accurate data which could guide us to improve stroke care in Croatia. Trial registration number: N/A
