Dijon Stroke Cohort

The Dijon Stroke Registry, accredited by the Registry Evaluation Committee, INSERM and Public Health France, has been studying the epidemiology of cerebrovascular accidents (cerebral infarction, intracerebral haemorrhages, meningeal haemorrhages) and transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) within the city of Dijon since 1985. As a result of the development of therapies for acute disease, the prognosis of patients has improved over time. Thus, the number of stroke survivors has increased by 90% between the 1980s and today. This raises new issues: risk of vascular recurrence, drug iatrogeny, and functional impact of stroke for motor, cognitive or thymic function. In the absence of available data in France, the investigators wish to set up an extended cohort follow-up of patients in order to study their long-term prognosis and to study the impact of future therapies on the evolutionary course of the disease.
