Stroke is a common event which often results in death or major loss of independence with immense human and financial costs, so identification of patients at risk, and prevention of stroke at the individual and population levels, is a high clinical and health priority. From August 1993 to July 1994, 468 stroke patients admitted to our hospital were assessed for the presence of stroke risk factors. All patients were followed up in hospital, and on discharge or death all hospital records were reviewed. We show that many risk factors remain uncorrected in stroke patients and that preventive measures are less than ideal at the community and hospital levels alike.
中风是一种常见病症，常常导致死亡或严重丧失独立生活能力，造成巨大的人力和财力损失。因此，识别有中风风险的患者，并在个体和群体层面预防中风，是临床和健康领域的一项高度优先事项。1993年8月至1994年7月，我们对我院收治的468例中风患者进行了中风风险因素评估。所有患者均在医院接受随访，出院或死亡时对所有医院记录进行了复查。我们发现，中风患者的许多风险因素仍未得到纠正，而且社区和医院层面的预防措施都不尽如人意。
