To describe the incidence, hospital admission rate and health outcomes following stroke in Ayrshire and Arran.
Community based study with prospective identification of stroke patients from a random sample of general practices stratified by geographical area and practice size.
Ayrshire and Arran Health Board area, West of Scotland.
All stroke patients from the 24 general practices in the sample.
Barthel Index, Canadian Neurological Scale, Mini-mental State Examination, SF-36.
The incidence of stroke was 2.33 per 1000 for both first and recurrent events and 78% of people were admitted to hospital following their stroke. Those admitted to hospital had significantly poorer outcomes in the early post-stroke period (first six months).
Our study provides recent figures for the incidence and hospital admission rates following stroke. We speculate that our rates may be typical for the NHS in Scotland at present.
描述在艾尔郡和阿伦地区中风后的发病率、住院率及健康状况。
基于社区的研究，通过按地理区域和诊所规模分层的普通诊所随机样本对中风患者进行前瞻性识别。
苏格兰西部的艾尔郡和阿伦健康委员会地区。
样本中24家普通诊所的所有中风患者。
巴氏指数、加拿大神经功能量表、简易精神状态检查表、SF-36。
首次中风和复发性中风的发病率均为每1000人中有2.33例，78%的人中风后住院。住院患者在中风后的早期（前六个月）健康状况明显较差。
我们的研究提供了近期中风后的发病率和住院率数据。我们推测目前我们的数据可能代表了苏格兰国民保健制度的典型情况。
