Implementation of a Physician-Based Stroke Unit in a Remote Hospital of North-East India

04 Jun 2021

The Tezpur model study aims to determine the effects of implementing stroke unit (SU) care in a remote hospital in North-East India.

This before-and-after implementation study was performed at the Baptist Christian Mission Hospital, Tezpur, Assam between January 2015 and December 2017. Before the implementation of stroke unit care (pre-SU), information was collected on usual stroke care and 1-month outcome of 125 consecutive stroke admissions. Staff was then trained in the delivery of SU care for 1 month, and the same information was collected in a second (post-SU) cohort of 125 patients.
