Overview

Regional differences in expert stroke prevention persist; leaves open whether trials can resolve dosing uncertainties for international consensus.

Structured PICO

Are there differences in medical and surgical therapy for stroke prevention between leading experts in North America and Western Europe?

P
Population
121 leading neurologists from Western Europe (n=73) and North America (n=48) who lead discussions on stroke prevention practices
I
Intervention
Clinical practice patterns in North America
C
Comparator
Clinical practice patterns in Western Europe
O
Outcome
Self-reported use of antiplatelet agents, oral anticoagulation, and surgery for the prevention of ischemic stroke

There are significant regional differences in stroke prevention practices between North American and Western European experts, highlighting areas where trial data may be insufficient to form international consensus.
