Numerator = the number of patients who were assessed by a stroke specialist consultant within 14 hours of clock start.
Denominator = all the patients in the cohort. Patients who are not assessed by a stroke consultant are included in the denominator.
To calculate whether a patient is included in the numerator:
For newly arrived patients, the difference between the date and time of assessment by stroke consultant (Q 3.3) and date and time of arrival (Q 1.13) must be greater than or equal to 0 minutes and less than or equal to 840 minutes.
For patients already in hospital stroke (Q 1.10 is ‘Yes’), the difference between the date and time of assessment by stroke consultant (Q 3.3) and the date and time of symptom onset (Q 1.11) must be greater or equal to 0 minutes and less than or equal to 840 minutes.
The times used to calculate this Key Indicator are: for patients whose first contact (Q3.3b) is “In person” or “Telemedicine”, the time contact first made with a stroke specialist consultant is used (Q3.3a), and for patients whose first contact (Q3.3b) is “By telephone”, the time first assessed by stroke specialist consultant in person (Q3.3c) is used.
