What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a comprehensive database by collecting standard clinical data from patients admitted to the Stroke unit at the University Hospital Ghent. Patients will be asked for their informed consent to register their demographic information, medical history, neurological evaluations, and details regarding their treatment and hospital course. The collected data will facilitate future retrospective observational research and help monitor quality indicators in stroke care. No additional tests or investigations will be performed beyond standard clinical practices.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients admitted to the Stroke unit or those with cerebrovascular diseases being followed by the Neurology department who can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients who cannot provide informed consent or whose legal representatives do not consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this database could enhance the understanding of stroke care and improve treatment outcomes for future patients.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is observational and builds on existing practices, similar studies have successfully utilized patient data to improve stroke care outcomes.
