[Clinical and care implications of the 10-year application of a cerebrovascular diseases register. Descriptive analysis of the last 1000 patients and comparative with the first 1000 patients].

Abstract

The continuous application of stroke registry brought major interest to the care of stroke patients, resulting in a higher admission rate of TIA patients, a better diagnosis of cardioembolic and lacunar stroke and fewer infarcts of undetermined cause. A decrease in the mean length of hospital stay was observed as well as a lower in-hospital mortality rate.
