Abstract:
Background. Carrying out comparative analysis of representative regional data on the level of diagnosis at the hospital stage of stroke management for a certain period of time and between different medical establishments allows us to form correctly a set of medical and preventive measures and to develop consistent recommendations for their improvement. The purpose: to assess the dynamics of quality indicators of clinical and hardware diagnosis of stroke for the period of 2017–2019 and to conduct a comparative analysis between the studied health care institutions. Materials and methods. According to the case histories, a comparative analysis was carried out on the level of organization of clinical and hardware diagnosis in the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise “Academician O.I. Yushchenko Vinnytsia Regional Clinical Psychoneurological Hospital of Vinnytsia Regional Council” (VRCPNH) and Vinnytsia City Clinical Emergency Hospital (VCCEH) in 2017–2019. Statistical processing of the results was performed using Statistica 5.5 package. Results. Significant differences were found in the number of VRCPNH and VCCEH patients who underwent evaluation of stroke severity on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at hospital stage, neuroimaging in the first hours of the disease, ultrasound of the neck vessels, atrial fibrillation and dysphagia screening, consultations of speech therapist and physiotherapist. In each hospital, there was a positive trend for three years after the completion of all diagnostic measures and procedures. Conclusions. The results of the study confirmed the adequacy of the studied quality indicators and the feasibility of further implementation of the hospital registry method in other regions of Ukraine to assess and control the quality of care, including the analysis of the effectiveness of new technologies.
