Abstract:Background
Rates of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after high‐risk transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke (TIAMIS) are suboptimal. We performed a cost‐effectiveness analysis to characterize the parameters of a quality improvement (QI) intervention designed to increase DAPT use after TIAMIS.
Methods and Results
We constructed a decision tree model that compared current national rates of DAPT use after TIAMIS with rates after implementing a … Show more
