Croatian experience on res-q registry for monitoring the quality of stroke care in 2018 and 2019 year

Group Name: 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 compare results captured from RES-Q registry in Croatia during 2018 and first quarter of 2019 year. Methods: Data on demographics, stroke care pathway, specific acute treatment issues, stroke prevention issues in all acute stroke admissions in Croatia during 2018 and first quarter of 2019 through RES-Q registry were analysed. Results: Acute hospitals which provide stroke treatment recruited 579 patients during 2018 year and 750 patients during first quarter of 2019. Figure 1. shows map of Croatia with participating centers (in green – both periods, in yellow – one period, red –not participating centers). Table 1. shows number of patients recruited by site and time period. Table 2. shows patients main baseline characteristics and outcome measures. 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 stroke cessation programs. In future, all stroke centers should be involved in stroke registry to achieve more accurate data which would guide us to improve stroke care in Croatia. Trial Registration Number: 01204 / #1969
