5. Cases where primary diagnosis is not a stroke
In order for the patient to meet the GWTG – stroke inclusion criteria, they must have final clinical diagnosis of stroke or transient ischemic stroke.
The Final Clinical Diagnosis Related to Stroke would be the stroke diagnosis  (even when the patient was admitted for a different condition).
This element is unique to GWTG and may or may not be the 'principal diagnosis' assigned by the hospital coding dept.
Abstractors should indicate the stroke occurred after hospital arrival by checking the following data field.

6. In-Hospital Strokes
Patients admitted to hospital for another reason, may be eligible for MaRISS
Keep in mind that either “primary” or “secondary” diagnosis must be “stroke” in order for patient to be entered into GWTG-Stroke.
Patients who have an in-hospital stroke can be entered in the PMT. Please note in-hospital strokes are excluded from all Achievement Measures, but are included in the GWTG Inpatient stroke measures.
For further instructions on in-hospital stroke please see MEMO that is going out to all coordinators on in-hospital strokes.
