The primary outcome was whether a consult was placed in the VA versus community care neurology (CCN) for outpatient stroke/TIA care. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with binomial distribution and log link fit to the primary outcome was used to estimate the effect of active implementation with baseline serving as the reference.

Researchers tracked outcomes for a median of just under 18 months. All secondary endpoints related specifically to heart failure outcomes were significantly reduced among patients who received empagliflozin. The study’s primary composite endpoint occurred in 8.2% of those who received empagliflozin and 9.1% of the control group.

The primary quality measure is the without-fail rate (WFR), which is a dichotomous outcome of whether a patient passes all process measures (yes/no) for which they are eligible. Conclusions:VA teleneurology care may be a way to improve the timeliness to outpatient stroke care without impacting quality of care for outpatient stroke care.
