**NQF-ENDORSED VOLUNTARY CONSENSUS STANDARDS FOR HOSPITAL CARE** Measure Set: Comprehensive Stroke(CSTK) Set Measure ID: CSTK-03 Set Measure ID Performance Measure Name CSTK-03a Hunt and Hess Scale Performed for SAH Patients CSTK-03b ICH Score Performed for ICH Patients Performance Measure Name: Severity Measurement Performed for SAH and ICH Patients (Overall Rate) Description: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stroke patients for whom a severity measurement (i.e., Hunt and Hess Scale for SAH patients or ICH Score for ICH patients) is performed prior to surgical intervention (e.g. clipping, coiling, or any surgical intervention) in patients undergoing surgical intervention and documented in the medical record; OR documented within 6 hours of arrival at the hospital emergency department for patients who do not undergo surgical intervention. CSTK-03 SAH and ICH stroke patients for whom a severity measurement is performed prior to surgical intervention in patients undergoing surgical intervention and documented in the medical record; OR documented within 6 hours of hospital arrival for patients who do not undergo surgical intervention. CSTK-03a SAH stroke patients for whom a severity measurement is performed prior to surgical intervention in patients undergoing surgical intervention and documented in the medical record; OR documented within 6 hours of hospital arrival for patients who do not undergo surgical intervention. CSTK-03b ICH stroke patients for whom a severity measurement is performed prior to surgical intervention in patients undergoing surgical intervention and documented in the medical record; OR documented within 6 hours of hospital arrival for patients who do not undergo surgical intervention. The CSTK-03 measure is reported as an overall rate which includes SAH and ICH stroke patients for whom a severity measurement is performed prior to surgical intervention in patients undergoing surgical intervention and documented in the medical record; OR documented within 6 hours of hospital arrival for patients who do not undergo surgical intervention; CSTK-03a and CSTK-03b are subsets of the overall rate, and stratified by the type of stroke patient. Rationale: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are medical emergencies requiring rapid diagnosis and assessment. Early deterioration is common in the first few hours after onset, and associated with increased mortality rates of > 75% compared to 30-day mortality rates of 35%-52%. More than half of all deaths from these conditions occur within the first two days. According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, the severity of SAHs should be documented with the Hunt and Hess Scale, and the severity of ICHs should be documented with ICH score to capture the clinical state of the patient. The severity of initial neurological injury should be determined and documented in the emergency department because it is a useful predictor of outcome and helpful in planning future care with family and physicians. For both severity methodologies, higher scores are associated with increased mortality. Type of Measure: Process Improvement Noted As: Increase in the rate Risk Adjustment: No. Data Collection Approach: Retrospective data sources for required data elements include administrative data and medical records. Data Accuracy: Variation may exist in the assignment of ICD-10 codes; therefore, coding practices may require evaluation to ensure consistency. Measure Analysis Suggestions: Hospitals may wish to identify those patients that did not receive a severity assessment within the specified timeframe(s), or received a severity assessment that did not match their diagnosis, or both, so that efforts can be directed toward improving care. Sampling: Yes. Please refer to the measure set specific sampling requirements and for additional information see the Population and Sampling Specifications section. Data Reported As: Aggregate rate generated from count data reported as a proportion. Selected References: 1.
