Included: all patients are included, except those who are either continent or refused a continence plan.
Numerator = the number of patients who have a continence plan drawn up within 3 weeks of clock start.
Denominator = all the applicable patients in the cohort. Patients who are applicable but did not have a continence plan drawn up are included in the denominator.
To calculate whether a patient is included in the numerator:
For newly arrived patients, the difference between the date urinary continence plan drawn up (Q 6.5) and date of arrival (Q 1.13) must be greater than or equal to 0 weeks and less than or equal to 3 weeks.
For patients already in hospital at the time of their stroke (Q 1.10 is ‘Yes’), the difference between the date urinary continence plan drawn up (Q 6.5) and the date of symptom onset (Q 1.11) must be greater or equal to 0 weeks and less than or equal to 3 weeks.
Cohort percentage:
Example
Patient X arrived (clock start) at hospital on 1st January. They had a continence plan drawn up by 14th January. Patient X has achieved the indicator because 1stJanuary – 14th January = 2 weeks.
Patient Y arrived (clock start) at hospital on 2nd January. They had a continence plan drawn up by 10th January. Patient Y has achieved the indicator because 2ndJanuary – 10th January = 8 days.
Patient Z arrived (clock start) at hospital on 3rd January. They did not have a continence plan drawn up for organisational reasons, and therefore did not achieve this indicator.
Therefore the cohort percentage is 0.67 or 67% or
