Included: all patients who were admitted to a stroke unit at the first hospital they were admitted to are included in this indicator.
Excluded: patients who were not admitted to a stroke unit at the team the patient was first admitted are excluded from this indicator
For patients newly arriving at hospital, the time between clock start and arrival on the stroke unit is the difference between the date and time of arrival (Q 1.13) and the date and time the patient first arrived on the stroke unit (Q 1.15).
For patients already in hospital at the time of their stroke (Q 1.10 is ‘Yes’), the time between clock start and arrival on the stroke unit is the difference between the date and time of symptom onset (Q 1.11) and the date and time the patient first arrived on the stroke unit (Q 1.15).
Cohort median: To find the median time, all the times between clock start and arrival on stroke unit need to be listed from smallest to largest. The median is then the number in the middle of this list.
