Determine trends in 5-year survival and risk of recurrent stroke following a first-ever stroke across two separate population-based cohorts.
Registered all residents experiencing an acute stroke in a defined region of Perth, Western Australia, during two 12-month periods beginning in February 1989 and February 1995.
Followed both cohorts prospectively over a 5-year follow-up period to evaluate cumulative mortality and recurrence.
The 5-year cumulative risk of death was 59% (95% CI, 53%–65%) in the 1989–1990 cohort and 58% (95% CI, 52%–65%) in the 1995–1996 cohort (p = 0.94).
The 5-year cumulative risk of first recurrent stroke was 32% (95% CI, 25%–40%) in the 1989–1990 cohort versus 23% (95% CI, 16%–30%) in the 1995–1996 cohort (p = 0.07).

Implication

Prospective cohort study reveals stable 5-year mortality and nonsignificant declines in recurrent stroke risk after first-ever stroke, suggesting gradual gains in secondary stroke prevention.
