This study, called the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry, is looking at how well hospitals are following the best practices for stroke care. It's an observational study, meaning researchers are watching and collecting information about how patients are treated, rather than testing a new medicine. The main goal is to see if these guidelines improve patient outcomes like how many people die in the hospital, their recovery at discharge (measured by the Modified Rankin Scale), and their survival 30 days after leaving the hospital. You could be included if you are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot), transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke), subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding on the brain's surface), intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding inside the brain), or a stroke not otherwise specified. The study is currently unclear on its status, but it has collected data from a very large number of patients.
