More information/project description
Project Description
Background
- Risk of stroke recurrence after stroke is substantial
- Patterns of risk transition between subtypes of vascular diseases remain unclear
- Long-term data on stroke sequelae (e.g. depression, cognitive decline) are scarce
Aims and Objectives
- Determine long-term patterns of vascular disease risk up to 3 years after index event
- Identify natural course of stroke associates outcomes and comorbidities
- Provide external validation of estimates from independent datasets
Methods
- Established cohort methodology, including initial and follow up assessments
- Recruitment of patients with first ever stroke to the cohort
- Annual follow up of patients up to 3 years after stroke
- Mapping of vascular disease risk, comorbidities and outcomes
- External validation of derived estimates
Status
- Started: February 2010
