Key Points Question What are the contemporary clinical characteristics, management, and in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute stroke and transient ischemic attack in China? Findings In this quality improvement study that included more than 1 million admissions, in-hospital management measures and outcomes varied by type of cerebrovascular event and hospital level of care. Temporal improvements from 2015 to 2019 were also observed. Meaning Although improvements were seen over time, these findings suggest that ongoing support for evidence-based care is needed.
