Stroke 1.1 Rationale
A register is a prerequisite for monitoring patients with stroke
or TIA.
For patients diagnosed prior to April 2003, it is accepted that
various diagnostic criteria may have been used. For this reason the presence
of the diagnosis of stroke or TIA in the records will be acceptable. Generally,
patients with a diagnosis of transient global amnesia or vertebro-basilar insufficiency
should not be included in the retrospective register. However, practices may
wish to review patients previously diagnosed and if appropriate attempt to confirm
the diagnosis.
As with other conditions, it is up to the practice to decide,
on clinical grounds, when to include a patient, e.g. when a ‘dizzy spell’ becomes
a TIA.
Stroke 1.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the number of patients on its stroke/TIA
disease register and the number of patients on its stroke/TIA register as a
proportion of total list size.
Verification – PCOs may compare the expected prevalence with the
reported prevalence.
