Background and Purpose Poland is a Country with High Morbidity and Mortality Rates from Cardiovascular Diseases. No Recent Studies Have Evaluated the Contribution of Cerebrovascular Diseases to This Morbidity and Mortality. Our Aim Was to Accurately Determine Stroke Incidence Rates in Warsaw, Poland. Methods a 2-Year Prospective and Population-Based Stroke Registry Was Maintained for Health Care Units 2 and 3 in Warsaw, Poland (Population, 182 285). Case Subjects Were Ascertained by Surveying Hospital Admissions, Outpatient Visits, and Death Certificates. Results during the 2 Years of the Study (1991 to 1992), 633 Cases of First-Event Strokes Were Registered, 462 of Which …

Background and Purpose: Hyperacute Cerebral Infarction Trials Require Early Differentiation of Infarction Subtype. Our Aim Was to Determine Clinical Factors Predictive of Infarction Subtype from Data Collected in the Early Hours of Admission. Methods: using the 1,273 Patients Enrolled in the Stroke Data Bank, Stroke Risk Factors and Demographic, Clinical, and Radiological Features Were Compared between the 246 Cardioembolic and 113 Large-Vessel Atherosclerotic Cerebral Infarcts. Results: Stroke Data Bank Definitions Ensured More Transient Ischemic Attacks in Atherosclerotic Infarcts and More Cardiac Disease in Cardioembolic Infarcts, But the Diagnosis Was Distinguished Further using a Logistic Regression Model. Fractional Arm Weakness (Shoulder …

We Determined the Prevalence of Dementia in 927 Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Aged ≥60 Years in the Stroke Data Bank Cohort based on the Examining Neurologist's Best Judgment Diagnostic Agreement among Examiners Was 68% (K=0.34). of 726 Testable Patients, 116 (16%) Were Demented. Prevalence of Dementia Was Related to Age But Not to Sex, Race, Handedness, Educational Level, or Employment Status Before the Stroke. Previous Stroke and Previous Myocardial Infarction Were Related to Prevalence of Dementia Although Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Atrial Fibrillation, and Previous Use of Antithrombotic Drugs Were Not Prevalence of Dementia Was Most Frequent in Patients with …

The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke Initiated the Stroke Data Bank, which is a Multicenter Project to Prospectively Collect Data on the Clinical Course and Sequelae of Stroke. Additional Objectives Were to Provide Information that Would Enable a Standard Diagnostic Clinical Evaluation, to Identify Prognostic Factors, and to Provide Planning Data for Future Studies. a Brief Description of the Structure and Methods Precede the Baseline Characterization of 1,805 Patients Enrolled in the Stroke Data Bank between July 1983 and June 1986. Two Thirds of These Patients Were Admitted within 24 Hours after Stroke Onset. Medical History, …
