Patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical practice guidelines in the ED.
The primary objectives of this study were to estimate differences in emergency department (ED) adherence across coronary-related clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and identify patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence. The investigators found that adherence to ED CPGs for acute coronary syndrome, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or acute ischemic stroke, differs significantly between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and is more likely to occur when the diagnosis is highly suggested by the patient's complaint and acknowledged as the primary diagnosis by the treating ED physician.
