Snippet: The characteristics of the stroke risk factors in this study is generally consistent with a large stroke registry from 2006 to 2008 but the rates of statin (30% vs. 38%) and antiplatelet (87% vs. 94%) use during hospitalization were somewhat lower in this study. 15 While the current study included only first-ever ischemic stroke, the prior study 15 also included 34% recurrent ischemic stroke patients, which may have led the treating medical docto.....
Document: The characteristics of the stroke risk factors in this study is generally consistent with a large stroke registry from 2006 to 2008 but the rates of statin (30% vs. 38%) and antiplatelet (87% vs. 94%) use during hospitalization were somewhat lower in this study. 15 While the current study included only first-ever ischemic stroke, the prior study 15 also included 34% recurrent ischemic stroke patients, which may have led the treating medical doctors to adopt a more aggressive vascular risk reduction strategy. Also hospitals participating in a stroke registry are presumably highly motivated to improve care quality and may generally have more awareness of/interest in the use of evidence-based therapies for stroke risk reduction. We found mortality rate was lower in this study, as compared to the prior stroke registry study (1.9% vs. 4% 15 ) which is likely due to the fact that this study only enrolled first-ever ischemic stroke.
