Care Quality and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Premorbid Dementia: Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry
Patients with premorbid dementia experienced slightly poorer quality of stroke care across multiple measures, were less likely to receive acute stroke interventions, and had worse poststroke outcomes than patients without dementia in a large nationwide registry. Our findings underscore the need for concerted efforts to further improve care quality and outcomes in this population.
