NCT02306824

Brief Summary

Investigator-initiated prospective multicentre hospital-based registry to uncover the proportion of self-reported anticoagulation in stroke patients with atrial fibrillation and assessing the proportion of stroke, intracranial bleeding and all-cause death in the short (at 3 months), mid-term (at 12 months) as well as long term (at 24 months) after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in an unselected urban population in Germany. In addition, annual follow-up is planned yearly up to 5 years after enrollment.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients with known atrial fibrillation and acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack

You may qualify if:

  • Acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (with clinical deficit on admission or corresponding brain MRI lesion)
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Known atrial fibrillation or ECG recording documenting atrial fibrillation during the in-hospital stay for acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
  • Written or oral informed consent
  • Willingness to take part in the planned follow up examinations

You may not qualify if:

  • Life expectancy \< 1 year (before stroke)
  • Assumed post-stroke life expectancy \< 1 month according to stroke severity
  • Chronic anticoagulation for reasons other than atrial fibrillation
