Population-based registers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in Europe

Design

Cross-sectional

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Heterogeneity in European AMI and stroke registers limits cross-national comparisons; leaves open the need for harmonized methodologies in surveillance research.

Structured PICO

Population

Population-based registers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in Europe

Outcome

Comparability of morbidity indicators (attack rate, incidence, prevalence, case fatality rate) across different European registers

While population-based registers for AMI and stroke exist in several European countries, lack of standardized methodologies currently limits the comparability of morbidity indicators across nations.
