Περίληψη:
EUROSTROKE is a collaborative study among ten European research centres
to investigate (1) the variation in incidence of fatal and non-fatal
ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke among populations in different
European countries; (2) whether the observed differences in stroke
incidence across countries can be explained by differences in prevalence
of established cardiovascular risk factors; (3) the relative importance
of selected dietary factors (potassium intake, smoking, alcohol
consumption), haemostatic disturbances (fibrinogen) and co-morbidity
(rheumatic heart disease, atrial fibrillation) compared to established
risk factors as determinants of the occurrence of ischaemic and
haemorrhagic stroke. The EUROSTROKE database is drawn from ten European
population-based prospective follow-up studies (cohorts) and is designed
as a case-control study nested within these ten ongoing studies.
