To evaluate the quality of secondary stroke prevention regarding vascular risk factors in primary care patients.
Retrospective audit of patients diagnosed with ischaemic stroke or TIA in 2024 and 2025
Review of electronic health records for risk factor management and follow-up adherence
Focus on monitoring blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, HbA1c, smoking status, and structured reviews.
8% of patients did not have blood pressure checked post-event
44% met LDL cholesterol targets, and 28% did not due to lack of assessment
92% received antithrombotic therapy; only 32% of eligible patients had a structured post-stroke review.
