Zambia Stroke Unit Study

N/A Completed NCT06457048

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of a locally adapted stroke unit on outcomes of adults with stroke in Zambia. The main question\[s\] to answer are: • Does provision of evidence-based stroke care improve after implementation of a stroke unit at the University Teaching Hospital in Zambia? • Do patients cared for in a locally adapted stroke unit at the University Teaching Hospital in Zambia have better in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes that similar patients who were not cared for in the stroke unit? The investigators will collect data on the types of care participants receive during hospitalization and vital status (alive/dead) at the time of hospital discharge and at 90-days post-discharge. Researchers will compare patients enrolled in this study to a historical group of adults with stroke cared for at the same hospital prior to implementation of the stroke unit.
