Included: all patients are included, except those who either refused or were medically unwell for entire admission and those who are discharged from inpatient care within 7 days of clock start.
Excluded: patients who refused a mood screen, patients who were medically unwell for entire admission (i.e., patients where Q 6.7.1 is answered ‘Patient refused’ or ‘Patient medically unwell for entire admission’), and patients who were discharged from inpatient care within 7 days of clock start are excluded from this indicator.
Numerator = the number of patients who have mood screening by discharge.
Denominator = all the applicable patients in the cohort. Patients who are applicable but did not have mood screening by discharge are included in the denominator.
To calculate whether a patient is included in the numerator:
For newly arrived patients, the difference between the date patient screened for mood using a validated tool (Q 6.7) and date of arrival (Q 1.13) must be greater than or equal to 0 weeks and less than or equal to 6 weeks.
For patients already in hospital at the time of their stroke (Q 1.10 is ‘Yes’), the difference between the date patient screened for mood using a validated tool (Q 6.7) and the date of symptom onset (Q 1.11) must be greater or equal to 0 weeks and less than or equal to 6 weeks.
