Interventions for improving modifiable risk factor control in the secondary prevention of stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: Pooled results indicated that educational interventions were not associated with clear differences in any of the review outcomes. The estimated effects of organisational interventions were compatible with improvements and no differences in several modifiable risk factors. We identified a large number of ongoing studies, suggesting that research in this area is increasing. The use of standardised outcome measures would facilitate the synthesis of future research findings. PMID: 24789063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
