What this trial studies
The South London Stroke Register is an observational registry that tracks stroke events and outcomes in a defined area of South London. It combines a population incidence study with a cohort study, following patients over time to gather data on health outcomes, quality of life, and mental health. The registry has been ongoing since 1995 and will now incorporate the new ICD-11 definition for stroke case identification. Participants will be regularly interviewed for up to 15 years post-stroke to assess long-term outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to improved care and support for stroke survivors, enhancing their quality of life and health outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other observational stroke registries have shown success in improving patient outcomes and understanding stroke epidemiology, indicating that this approach is both tested and valuable.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Confirmed stroke (WHO ICD-11 clinical definition)- cerebral ischaemic stroke, primary intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke not known if ischaemic or haemorrhagic. Formerly defined Transient Ischaemic Attacks with CT/MRI evidence of cerebrovascular disease are classified as stroke under this definition. 2. Living in the study area at the time of the first stroke. 3. First stroke since 1st January 1995 for enrolled participants. First stroke since 1st April 2022 for updated definition. Exclusion Criteria: 1. First ever stroke is before 1st January 1995 2. Patients' main residence at the time of first stroke is outside the study area. 3. Focal neurological signs resolved within 24 hours and no CT/MRI scan reports evidence of cerebrovascular disease (i.e. transient ischaemic attack) 4. CT/MRI scans positive for cerebrovascular disease but absence of related focal neurological deficits (asymptomatic cerebrovascular disease) 5. brain lesion other than stroke causes the acute symptoms such as cerebral tumour or metastases
