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 24 hours of clock start.
Excluded: patients who refused a cognition screen, patients who were medically unwell for entire admission (i.e., patients where Q 6.8.1 is answered ‘Patient refused’ or ‘Patient medically unwell for entire admission’), and patients who were discharged from inpatient care within 24 hours of clock start are excluded from this indicator.
Numerator = the number of patients who have cognition screening by discharge.
Denominator =all the applicable patients in the cohort. Patients who are applicable but did not have cognition 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 cognition using a validated tool (Q 6.8) 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 cognition using a validated tool (Q 6.8) 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.
