dc.description.abstractThe population of this study is a subset of the Tees Stroke Register population. The patients were all residents of the area, had their first ever in their lifetime stroke and were not inpatients in hospital at the time or stroke onset. I have written the protocols and documented all the t1owcharts. These underwent numerous drafts with reviews and input by all the study team members and supervisors. I have personally seen, consented and clinically assessed over 1200 patients out of the total of the 1898 recorded and confirmed stroke events. In addition, 1 have reviewed almost all the over 9000 suspected stroke notifications to the stroke register (this usually involved reviewing the patients medical records and / or assessing them). I have reviewed death certificate data, and where needed patients records, of all participants in the study. 1 managed and supervised the day-to-day activities of the research team, helped prepare regular feedback pamphlets detailing the progress of the study, presented progress reports to the study supervisors and presented interim findings at national and international meetings. I have undertaken the basic analyses (odds ratios etc) myself. I have required extensive assistance from the study database supervisor (who also checked my results) for the other and more complex analyses (multivariate regression etc). Dr Nick Steen, statistician for the Centre for Health Services Research, University of Newcastle assisted and guided the performance and interpretation of the basic and logistical regression analyses. My supervisor has reviewed this script and advised modifications and amendments.en_ZA
