Key result
Stroke service interventions show uncertain impact on modifiable risk factor control after stroke or TIA.
Why the study?
Stroke services need to be configured to maximize adoption of evidence-based strategies for secondary stroke prevention to improve modifiable risk factor control.
Stroke service interventions may aid risk factor control post-stroke; leaves open optimal configurations and components for secondary prevention.
P eople with stroke or transient ischemic attack are at increased risk of future stroke and other cardiovascular events.Stroke services need to be configured to maximize the adoption of evidence-based strategies for secondary stroke prevention.This review assessed the effects of stroke service interventions for implementing secondary stroke prevention strategies on modifiable risk factor control.These included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, HbA1c, lipid profile, medication adherence, and cardiovascular events.

Bridgwood et al. (2018) conducted a review in stroke or transient ischemic attack. stroke service interventions was evaluated on modifiable risk factor control (including blood pressure, BMI, HbA1c, lipid profile, medication adherence, and cardiovascular events). This review assessed the effects of stroke service interventions on modifiable risk factor control in patients with stroke or TIA, but no quantitative results were reported in the abstract.
