Comparing ischaemic stroke in six European countries. The EuroHOPE register study (P1.068)

CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to link population-wide register data among European countries to describe incidence of hospitalisations, treatment patterns, and case-fatality of ischaemic stroke on a national level. However, the coverage and validity of administrative register data for ischaemic stroke should be developed further, and population-based and clinical stroke registers created to allow better control of case-mix.
