Key result
The EUROSTROKE collaborative study was designed as a nested case-control study across ten European cohorts to investigate risk factors for stroke, with no quantitative results reported in the abstract.
Why the study?
What are the incidence and risk factors (including dietary, haemostatic, and co-morbidities) of fatal and non-fatal ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in European populations?
Case-Control
Yes
What are the incidence and risk factors (including dietary, haemostatic, and co-morbidities) of fatal and non-fatal ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in European populations?
The EUROSTROKE study is designed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke across ten European cohorts using a nested case-control design.
May inform European stroke risk factor profiles; leaves open quantitative validation before practice implications.
EUROSTROKE is a collaborative study among ten European research centres to investigate (1) the variation in incidence of fatal and non-fatal ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke among populations in different European countries; (2) whether the observed differences in stroke incidence across countries can be explained by differences in prevalence of established cardiovascular risk factors; (3) the relative importance of selected dietary factors (potassium intake, smoking, alcohol consumption), haemostatic disturbances (fibrinogen) and co-morbidity (rheumatic heart disease, atrial fibrillation) compared to established risk factors as determinants of the occurrence of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. The EUROSTROKE database is drawn from ten European population-based prospective follow-up studies (cohorts) and is designed as a case-control study nested within these ten ongoing studies.

Grobbee et al. (1996) conducted a case-control in Ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. Cardiovascular, dietary, and haemostatic risk factors was evaluated on Occurrence of fatal and non-fatal ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. The EUROSTROKE collaborative study was designed as a nested case-control study across ten European cohorts to investigate risk factors for stroke, with no quantitative results reported in the abstract.
