Hospital register of patients with acute cerebrovascular accident (REGION): characteristics of patient and outcomes of hospital treatment

Aim. To assess the characteristics of patients and short-term outcomes of the disease in patients hospitalized for cerebral stroke (CS) based on the REGION-Moscow register.

Material and methods. From 2012 to 2017, 900 patients were included in the REGION-Moscow register, who were consecutively admitted to one of the clinics in Moscow, and in whom CS or transient ischemic attack (TIA) were diagnosed during hospitalization.

Results. The average age of the entire cohort of patients was 71±15 years. Women were 59,4%, men — 40,6%. The average age of women was 7 years more than the average age of men. Cardiovascular risk factors or a combination of them were detected in most patients. About 75% of CS were ischemic, 10% — hemorrhagic, 2% — mixed type, 13% were transient ischemic attack. Hospital mortality on average over the 5 years were 24,0%. There was a sharp increase in hospital mortality in 2014, which coincided with the organization of the vascular center, in subsequent years there was a progressive decrease in hospital mortality.

Conclusion. The development of CS in most patients was predictable and determined mainly by the presence of cardiovascular risk factors or a combination of them. Organization of the vascular center led to a gradual decrease in hospital mortality.
