Ensuring that patients and their families retain simple and accurate information on stroke as they progress through stroke rehabilitation may be an effective means of disseminating this information to the general public [ 18].
The audit collects information about stroke care in hospitals managing acute stroke in Scotland and has provided full national coverage of all hospitals since 2005.
Unfortunately, we lacked information of stroke severity, which is an important predictor of stroke outcome.
Multiple sources are needed to capture maximum information on stroke events but increasingly with hospitalisation in the acute phase of stroke, HES has an important role.
The mass media (television, radio, newspapers and magazines) were the most popular sources of information for stroke knowledge; this should be considered when promoting public knowledge of stroke and the associated risk factors [ 13].
Information on stroke risk factors regarding smoking, drinking, height, weight, blood pressure, family history of stroke, blood lipids and blood sugar is gathered through review of the medical records.
Purpose: The aim of this project was to design and evaluate a system that would produce tailored information for stroke patients and their carers, customised according to their informational needs, and facilitate communication between the patient and health professional.
In this study, over 70% of the respondents had learnt some information about stroke through the radio or television, indicating that the two media would be very useful for dissemination of stroke information in a public health education programme.
We entered age, gender, information about the stroke (stroke type, localization, first stroke) and measurements on admission of CI, BI, FAT, BBS, FAC, NPI-NH, and GDS-8 in the two-step cluster analysis.
After practice, Ms. Kirk teased Mr. Quick about forgetting his password to a database of national race results that includes information like stroke rate and lap times for the top 1,000 swimmers.
