| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reliable comparisons of stroke incidence are important. To determine the impact of systematic assessment of patients referred with transient ischemic attack on the measured incidence and severity of stroke, we compared 2 population-based studies. METHODS: Patients with first-ever stroke ascertained during 2006 through 2010 from the Dijon Stroke Registry and the Oxford Vascular (OXVASC) Study were studied. Both studies comply with the criteria for ideal incidence studies, but the OXVASC Study also systematically assessed all patients referred with transient ischemic attack. Stroke severity was measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. RESULTS: Among 902 incident strokes in Dijon and 748 cases in the OXVASC Study, age and gender distribution were comparable, but severity was lower in the OXVASC Study (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, 2 versus 6; P<0.001). Although overall incidence of ischemic stroke was higher in the OXVASC Study (157 versus 98 of 100 000/y; incidence rate ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-2.05; P<0.001), this was accounted for by a 3-fold excess incidence of stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≤2 in the OXVASC Study (90 versus 29/100 000/y; P<0.001), with no difference in incidence of more severe ischemic stroke (incidence rate ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-1.33). Of all 660 incident ischemic strokes in the OXVASC Study, 375 (56.8%) cases had an National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≤2, of which 232 had been ascertained in the transient ischemic attack clinic. Of these 232 minor strokes, only 71 cases had a diagnosis of definite stroke documented in the medical records by the referring physician. CONCLUSIONS: Reliance on routine clinical coding underestimates the incidence of minor stroke. To improve comparability of incidence studies, researchers should assess patients referred with transient ischemic attack, and all studies should stratify incidence rates by stroke severity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
