Standard operating procedures improve acute neurologic care in a sub-Saharan African setting
Conclusions:
Implementing SOPs is a realistic, low-cost option for improving process quality of neurologic emergency management in under-resourced settings.
Classification of evidence:
This study provides Class IV evidence that, for patients with suspected neurologic emergencies in sub-Saharan Africa, neurologic SOPs increase the rate of performance of guideline-recommended procedures.
