Resumo

OBJECTIVE. To analyze the impact of emergency department care times on quality of life in patients with stroke. METHOD. Longitudinal retrospective observational study in patients with stroke in the province of Ourense, Galicia. We analyzed demographic variables (age and sex), hospital variables, care times in each of the steps after code activation, patient quality of life, and 30-day mortality. RESULTS. We studied 153 patients with a mean (SD) age of 76 (12) years; 83 (54%) were women. Mean time to arrival at the hospital was 100.72 (142.90) minutes. The only difference associated with patient sex was in door-to-doctor time (P < .05). No differences in care times were found to be associated with patient quality of life. Care in the hospital in Verín was significantly associated with door-to-doctor times (P = .032), time to computed tomography scan (P = .024), and management of fibrinolysis treatment. CONCLUSIONS. Care times related to hospital location and patient sex should be improved.
