• Description: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, globally responsible for approximately 11 % of total deaths. Patient outcome is very poor – a third of stroke patients die, a third sustain long-term disability and only a third recover fully. Therefore, it is understandable that there is a constant drive to improve diagnostics, treatment and prevention of stroke. Collaboration between stroke centres is essential in order to obtain independent evidence-based data that can lead to improved healthcare.
