Stroke and COVID-19
Original ESO Publications
On-going Data Collection
Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q): Added COVID-19 Question
The addition of the COVID-19 question to RES-Q has been well received. The data from this question is being processes and will be reflected in future reports. This question is also available for previously entered patients, so any hospitals which wish to enter data retrospectively can still capture this data.
More information about RES-Q data collection as well as the Angels Awards can be found on the RES-Q website at qualityregistry.eu/data
