Challenges of delivering evidence-based stroke services for rural areas in Australia.
CONCLUSION: Evidence-based stroke care, aligned with current national standards is the key to providing adequate stroke services in rural Australia. Improved health service resourcing and better utilisation of currently available resources are options for achieving elements of evidence-based stroke care. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Availability of adequate services for stroke patients directly impacts public health as it determines health outcomes for these patients. Indirect implications for public health include the effects on health professionals and the general public. PMID: 31990135 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Quality of acute stroke care in a regional Victorian hospital, Australia.
CONCLUSION: The timeliness of brain imaging and thrombolysis was comparable in the study hospital to that of the national standard, while other stroke management indicators still require improvement. Continuing efforts for improvement and revisiting possible areas of delay are warranted. PMID: 30945784 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cross-sectional survey of rehabilitation service availability for stroke and hip fracture in Australian public hospitals
CONCLUSION: There was reduced availability of rehabilitation services and health disciplines in rural/regional settings. A follow-up study is underway investigating relationships between reduced outpatient service availability and inpatient length of stay in rural/regional versus metropolitan hospitals.PMID:34757624 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.12803

Rural versus metropolitan comparison of processes of care in the community-based management of TIA and minor stroke in Australia (an analysis from the INSIST study)
CONCLUSIONS: Although TIAMS prognosis in rural settings where solely GP care is common is very good, the processes of care in such areas are inferior to metropolitan. This suggests there is further scope to support rural GPs to optimise care of TIAMS patients.PMID:36382851 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.12950
