Advance Consent in Acute Stroke Trials: Survey of Canadian Stroke Physicians

Can J Neurol Sci. 2023 Feb 17:1-4. doi: 10.1017/cjn.2023.12. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvance consent presents a potential solution to the challenge of obtaining informed consent for participation in acute stroke trials. Clinicians in stroke prevention clinics are uniquely positioned to identify and seek consent from potential stroke trial participants. To assess the acceptability of advance consent to Canadian stroke clinic physicians, we performed an online survey. We obtained 58 respondents (response rate 35%): the vast majority (82%) expressed comfort with obtaining advance consent and 92% felt that doing so would not be a significant disruption to clinic workflow. These results support further study of advance consent for acute stroke trials.PMID:36799025 | DOI:10.1017/cjn.2023.12
