Outline - what is in this section?#

This section contains the following notebooks:

  • Descriptive analysis of stroke pathway data: Describe mean patient and pathway characteristics, and describe variation across stroke teams, and variation between age groups (under age 80 vs. 80+). Onset-to-arrival time analysis.

  • Association between patient features on use of thrombolysis: Examine relationship between patient features and use of thrombolysis. Analysis by Disability (modified Rankin Scale) before stroke; Stroke severity (NIHSS); Gender; Ethnicity; Age group; Onset known; Arrival by ambulance; Co-morbidities.

  • Comparison of average values for patients who receive thrombolysis and those that do not: A comparison of feature means for patients who receive thrombolysis and those that do not.

  • Pathway patterns throughout the day: Analysis of key pathway statistics broken down by time of day (3 hour epochs).

  • Pathway patterns throughout the week: Analysis of key pathway statistics broken down by day of week.

  • Pathway patterns throughout the day in an example single stroke team: Analysis of key pathway statistics broken down by time of day (3 hour epochs) in a single stroke team.

  • Pathway patterns throughout the week in an example single stroke team: Analysis of key pathway statistics broken down by day of week in a single stroke team.

  • Stroke pathway timing distribution: Visualise distributions for onset-to-arrival, arrival-to-scan, and scan-to-needle, and fit candidate distributions to find best fit.

  • Measuring the covariance/correlation between features: Correlation btween features (covariance of standardised features)
