THE ANALYSIS OF TIME TO HOSPITAL ADMISSION FOR STROKE PATIENT IN
RSUP Dr. SARDJITO IN 2011-2013
Muhammad Nurazam Bin Azman*
ABSTRACT
Background: Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that occurs due to
the obstruction of oxygen supply to the brain, causing brain
tissue to die. This in turn resulted in various disabilities to
the patients such as paralysis and cognitive impairment and can
even lead to death. This high number of mortality and morbidity is
partly due to the delayed time to hospital admission after the
onset of stroke in this study, we hope to see the progress of time
to admission of strokes patients in Dr. Sardjito Hospital from the
year 2009-2013 in order to know if the time to admission has
improved for stroke patients over the years as this will greatly
affect the prognosis for the stroke patients. The data from this
study can be used by the hospitals and healthcare office to know
about the current rate of time of admission and for the
improvement of healthcare for stroke patients in the future.
Aim: To analyze the time to admission of stroke in Dr. Sardjito
Hospital from 2011-2013.
Methods: This is a non-experimental research; it is an
observational descriptive study using the retrospective method.
All the data from this study will be obtained from secondary data;
the medical record of the stroke patients who have been admitted
to stroke unit of RSUP Dr.Sardjito from 2011-2013.
Results: The percentage of time to admission for stroke patient in
2011 is 22.66%, for 2012 is 30.98% while in 2013 is 17.395. While
the mean for time to admission for 2011 is 23.93 hours, for 2012
is 23.07 hours and for 2013 is 25.79hours
Conclusion: The trend of percentage of time to admission of stroke
patient in less then 3 hours from 2011 to 2013 is fluctuating.
This might be due to the lack of knowledge of the patient and
their family and also the lack in sense of urgency to send the
patient for immediate medical treatment. The percentage of time to
admission in RSUP Dr. Sardjito is almost similar to other places
such as Japan and France but the mean of time to admission is
still falling behind other countries such as United State

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Stroke occur when the blood supply to the brain is
blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures,
causing brain tissue to die. It is defined as a sudden,
non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to an
ischemic or hemorrhagic intracranial vascular event(Adams
et al., 2003). It can be classified into 2 major groups
that are ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic
stroke refers to the condition where a weakened blood
vessel ruptures. It is mostly in the form of
aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. However, the
most common cause of hemorrhagic stroke is uncontrolled
hypertension. Ischemic stroke on the other hand occurs as
a result of an obstruction of a blood vessel supplying
blood to the brain causing tissue hypoxia and later
ischemic. It is a biggest type of stroke as it accounts
for 87 percent of all stroke cases. Meanwhile, there is
also a condition called Transient Ischemic Attack(TIA)
which sometimes called mini-stroke that occurs when the
blood flow to the brain is blocked for a short time
usually under 5 minutes. However, it is still an emergency
condition that requires emergency care and may be a
warning sign for future stroke.
2
Stroke had become one of the major cause of death in
recent years as about 6.2 million or around 10.6% of
deaths worldwide in 2011 are caused by this disease and
this trend continue to increase as compared to the
previous decade. In Indonesia alone, stroke has become the
leading cause of death among adult contribute up to 15.4%
of all deaths among Indonesians over five, followed by
Tuberculosis at 7.5% (IRIN, 2009).
Symptoms of strokes arise due to the obstruction or
rupture of blood supply to the brain. It include sudden
numbness or weakness of the arms, face or legs, sudden
confusion or trouble speaking or understanding others,
sudden trouble for seeing in one or both eyes, impairment
of motoric and sensoric function and also severe headache
with no known cause (CDC-DHDSP, 2008). Some of the
complication of strokes are lasting brain damage, long-
term disabilities or even death and this is worsen by
delayed hospital admission from the time of stroke onset.
Early time of admission after stroke event can
greatly affect the mortality or morbidity of stroke
patient. A study by the American Heart Association suggest
that stroke patient who are sent to the hospitals within
90 minutes after the onset and receive thrombolytic
medication stand a greater chance of surviving with little
or no disabilities within three months as compared to the
3
patient with longer time to admission. Meanwhile, a study
by European Stroke Organization also recommend that
patient who arrive at hospital within the golden hour of
3-4.5 hours of onset could be given recombinant tissue
plasminogen activator alteplase which are shown to reduce
the incidence of stroke-related disability.
B. Problem Formulation
1) What is the time to admission for stroke patient in Dr.
Sardjito Hospital?
2) What is the appropriate time of admission that should
be used as the Golden Standard for stroke patient?
3) Are there any changes in the time of admission of
stroke patient in Dr. Sardjito Hospital during 2011-
2013?
C. Research Objective
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the
time to admission of stroke patient in Dr. Sardjito
Hospital and to see is there any improvement in the
yearly trend of time to admission from 2009 to 2013.
D. Research Benefits
This research can help us to know about the yearly
trend of time to admission and see whether there is any
improvement of time of admission for stroke patient in
Dr. Sardjito. This information could help the Healthcare
Office, Dr. Sardjito Hospital management and the doctors
4
to formulate the appropriate guideline and procedure in
managing stroke patient. This research is also important
for the Healthcare Office in educating the public on the
importance of getting the stroke patient to the hospital
as soon as possible.
E. Research Authenticity
There are several studies that already conducted in
various countries to analyze the time to admission of
stroke patients in their respective community.For
example, there is a study in Australia that involves 284
patients who are admitted to Royal Adelaide Hospital
Stroke Unit, South Australia between the year 2000 and
2002 (Broadley&Thompson, 2003).
There is also a study about the time to hospital
admission and start of treatment in patients with
ischemic stroke in northern Italy which also study about
the prediction of delay(Vidale et al., 2013).
In this study, I hope to analyze the time to
admission of stroke patient in Dr. Sardjito Hospital
between 2009-2013 to see whether there are any
improvement in the time to admission over the years.

CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Definition of Stroke
Stroke is a sudden focal neurologic syndrome;
specifically the type caused by cerebrovascular disease
(Ropper et al., 2009).Brain disease that occurs secondary
to a pathological disorder of blood vessels (usually
arteries) or blood supply is defined as cerebrovascular
disease. It is due to occlusion by rupture or disease of
vessel wall,thrombus or embolus, and disturbance of normal
properties of blood. There are two types of stroke which
are hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke (Linslay et
al., 2002).
B. Types of Stroke
a) Ischemic Stroke
Atherosclerotic obstructions of big cervical and
cerebral arteries, with ischemia in all parts or part of
the territory of the occluded artery lead to thrombotic
cerebral infarction. This is due to the main
atherosclerotic lesion or embolism at the more distal
cerebral arteries. Embolism of a clot in the cerebral
arteries coming from the other parts of the arterial
system can cause embolic cerebral infection. Small deep
infarcts in the small penetrating artery explained the
lacunar cerebral infarction. Usually it is caused by local
6
disease such as chronic hypertension (Truelsen et al.,
2006).
b) Hemorrhagic Stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke occur due to spontaneous
intracerebral hemorrhage which lead to increase of
intracranial pressure and diminished supply of blood to
the brain. There are several factors that can lead to
hemorrhagic stroke such as arteriolar hypertensive
disease, coagulation disorder, vascular malformation
within the brain and malnutrition (Truelsen et al., 2006).
c) Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when there is rupture
of aneurysms at the bifurcations of large arteries at the
inferior surface of brain. Some studies just exclude this
type of stroke because it is not often to cause direct
damage to the brain. However, symptoms in accordance to
stroke definition maybe developed in person with this type
of stroke and make it should be counted as stroke too
(Truelsen et al., 2006).
C. Pathophysiology of Stroke
In ischemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain is
disturbed causing the decreasing supply of oxygen and
glucose supply to the brain. Small or large artery (45%)
embolic in origin (20%) and others unknown causes are the
causes of ischemic stroke (Hinkle et al., 2007).
7
When intima is roughened and plague forms along the
injury vessel, thrombosis in extracranial and intracranial
can be formed. Platelet will adhere and aggregate at the
injured endothelial, activates the coagulation at the site
of plague, thrombus is developed. This will lead to
decrease in blood flow in the extracranial and
intracranial system and the function of collateral
circulation is maintained.
Decrease perfusion and cell death will occur when
compensatory mechanism of collateral circulation is failed
and compromised the perfusion(Hinkle et al., 2007).A clot
travels from a distant source and embedded in cerebral
vessel may cause embolic stroke (Hinkle et al., 2007).
D. Golden Hour of Stroke Treatment
Stroke patients who arrive at the hospitals within a
short period of time after the onset of stroke and receive
IV thrombolytic therapy show better prognosis as compare
to those who have longer time to admission to hospital.
However, there is a certain time window where
administration of IV thrombolytic therapy could provide
affective result to the patient. A study by the NINCDS has
provide the evidence of IV rtPA benefits when given within
3 hours of the symptoms onset of which the result shows an
increase of 30% in the number of patients who show little
or no neurologic deficit when re-examined after 3 months.
8
This 3 hours time window or also called the Golden
Hours for stroke treatment is also used by the United
States, Canada and Europe as a benchmark for the
administration of IV rtPA for stroke patients where the
onset of stroke is defined as the time when the stroke
began of the last time where the patient was seen normal.

CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Result and Discussion
The data that are taken in this research are stroke
patients from the Neurology Department of RSUP Dr.
Sardjito that were first evaluated for the inclusion and
exclusion criteria in the 2011-2013. The data from medical
record that did not meet the criteria were dismissed and
the one that meet the criteria was taken. The data are
shown in the Table 1 below
Table 1.Result of Time to Hospital Admission, percentage
and mean of TTHA in 2011 until 2013
Year
Time to hospital
admission(TTHA) total Percentage of
TTHA
16
In 2011, there are a total of 75 stroke patients that
meet the criteria and the data are recorded. Out of these
75 patients, only 17 (22.67%)were arrived and admitted to
the hospital within 3 hours after the onset of stroke
while the rest 58 (77.33%) were admitted after the 3 hours
window period as shown in Figure 4. The mean time to
hospital admission for this year is 23.93 hours with the
shortest time to admission is 1 hour and the longest time
to admission is 6 days.
Figure 4. Comparison of time to hospital admission of
stroke patients between 3 hours in 2011
The patient who arrive late at the hospital were
asked patients who arrived at the hospital for more than 3
hours were asked about the reason for late admission and
recorded into 5 categories which are;(1)due to
17
transportation, (2)waiting for family members,(3) long
distance from the hospital, (4)economic factors, (5)lack
of awareness and knowledge and (6)other factors.
In 2011, the majority of stroke patient who arrive
late at hospital or about 51.67% of them gave lack of
awareness and knowledge about the stroke sign and symptoms
as the main reason for late hospital admission. This is
followed by others factors at 21.67%, waiting for family
members at 15%, long distance from hospital at 5%,
transportation at 5% and economic factors at 1.67%. The
distribution of reason of delayed admission is shown in
Figure 5.
Figure 5.Distribution of reason for late admission for
stroke patients in 2011
In 2012, the number of stroke patient who are
admitted to the RSUP Dr. Sardjito that meet the inclusion
and exclusion criteria is 71. Out of this 71 patients 22
of them (30.98%) are admitted to the hospital under 3
18
hours while 49 (69.02%) arrive after the 3 hours Golden
Period as shown in figure 6. The mean time to hospital
admission for the year 2012 is 23.02 hours with the
shortest time to admission is 30 minutes and the longest
time to admission is 6 days.
Figure 6.Comparison of time to hospital admission of
stroke patients between 3 hours in 2012
In this year, the highest reason of delayed hospital
admission is still due to the lack of awareness and
knowledge which stands at 51.85% followed by other factors
at 24.07%, waiting for family members at 11.11%,
transportation at 9.26% and long distance from hospitals
and economic factors both at 1.85%.The distribution of
reason for late admission for stroke patients in 2012 is
shown in Figure 7.
19
Figure 7.Distribution of reason for late admission for
stroke patients in 2012
In 2013, there are 115 patient who meet the criteria
and taken as sample. Out of these 115 patients, only
21(18.26%) of them arrived at the hospitals within the 3
hours period while the rest 94(81.74%) of them were only
admitted 3 hours after the onset of stroke as shown in
Figure 8. The mean of time to hospital admission for this
year is 25.79 hours with the shortest time to admission is
30 minutes and the longest time to admission is 5 days.
Figure 8. Comparison of time to hospital admission of
stroke patients between 3 hours in 2013
20
For the reason of hospital admittance of more than 3
hours, the factors of lack of awareness and knowledge
still became the number one reason for delay in hospital
admittance with 52.11%, followed by waiting for family at
22.54%, other factors at 18.31%, transportation at 4.23%,
while long distance to hospitals at and economic factors
are both at 1.41%.The distribution of reason for late
admission for stroke patients in 2012 is shown in Figure
9.

patient who was admitted in less than 3 hours to the
hospital which is only 17.39% of all the stroke cases.

admission of stroke patients between 2011-2013
Meanwhile, the mean time to hospital admission from
the year 2011 until 2013 follows the same progression as
the percentage of the time to admission where it started
at 23.93 hours in 2011 and improves to 23.02 hours in 2012
before rising significantly to 25.79 hours in 2013 as
shown in Figure 11 below.

B. Limitation and Recommendation
This study was conducted at only one location
(Neurology Department RSUP Dr. Sardjito), so these
findings cannot be generalized to all of Yogyakarta
society. I hope that in the future this research will be
done in the population based.
The number of sample in the year 2011 and 2012 was
also less than the sample size needed due to the lack of
suitable cases after going through the inclusion and
exclusion criteria process.
I hope that the length of study is extended not only
3 years from 2011-2013 but more than 5 years span if
possible.
23
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
C. Conclusion
As a conclusion, the data shows that trend of the
percentage of stroke patient that were admitted to
hospital within 3 hours after the onset of stroke is
irregular and fluctuate between 2011 to 2013. There are
several factors that may play a key role in determining
the cause of the fluctuation such as the level of
awareness and knowledge of the stoke patient and their
family about the sign and symptoms of stroke and the sense
of urgency for the patient to seek medical treatment upon
the onset of stroke.
However, stroke patient who wait for their family
member before seeking medical treatment shows proportional
correlation with the fluctuating trend of time to
admission percentage where it is at 15% in 2011 and
decrease at 11.11% in 2012 before soaring to 18.31% in
2013.
D. Suggestions
This suggests that there is still a vast majority of
patient and their family that doesnt aware about the sign
and symptoms of stroke and the severity of this disease if
they do not receive the medical treatment as soon as
possible. There is also lack of the sense of urgency as
24
the stroke patient still waits for their family members to
send them to the hospital rather than using the ambulance
service or other transportation.
We also found out that the percentage of stroke
patient who arrive at the hospital within the 3 hours
period after onset is more of less the same with other
developed and developing countries. However, the mean of
time to admission of stroke patient in RSUP Dr. Sardjito
is 23 hours to 26 hours. This suggests that there is still
a barrier between patients in urban and rural setting in
seeking treatment. These barriers might include the long
distance to the nearest hospitals, level of knowledge and
also economic factors.
Based on the outcome of this study, it can be
concluded that the Healthcare Department in Yogyakarta and
Indonesia will need to step up the effort to spread the
awareness about the sign and symptoms of stroke and also
the benefits of admitting the stroke patient as soon as
possible to the hospital. Better emergency medical service
should also be provided so that the time from onset to
treatment can be reduced hence increasing the probability
of better outcome.
