New Evidence for Stroke Prevention: Scientific Review
Abstract
CONTEXT: Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and the application of evidence for stroke prevention varies considerably. OBJECTIVE: To review the most recent, high-quality evidence for primary and secondary stroke prevention. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION: Searches of MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, and the ACP Journal Club were performed to identify English-language articles published from 1998 to 2001 that focused on primary and secondary stroke prevention. The references of each retrieved article were scanned, and experts in the field were contacted to identify additional relevant articles. DATA EXTRACTION: Each of the articles was appraised, and its quality was graded with levels of evidence based on specific scientific methods that affect a study's validity. DATA SYNTHESIS: For primary prevention of stroke, adequate blood pressure reduction, and treatment of hyperlipidemia, use of antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and of antiplatelet therapy in patients with myocardial infarction are effective and supported by evidence from several randomized trials. Effective strategies for the secondary prevention of stroke include treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation, antiplatelet therapy, and carotid endarterectomy in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a major public health concern, and a significant body of evidence supports many primary and secondary prevention strategies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
