Background: We aimed to determine the accuracy of the iScore for predicting mortality and early disability following ischemic stroke in a French population-based study.

Methods: All patients with acute ischemic stroke were identified among residents of the city of Dijon, France, between 2006 and 2011, using a population-based stroke registry. The 30-day iScore and 1-year iScore were calculated.

Intracerebral haemorrhage profiles are changing: results from the Dijon population-based study.

Incidence of intracerebral haemorrhage over the past three decades is reported as stable. This disappointing finding is questionable and suggests that any reduction in intracerebral haemorrhage incidence associated with improvements in primary prevention, namely, better control of blood pressure, might have been offset by an increase in cases of intracerebral haemorrhage owing to other factors, including the use of antithrombotic drugs in the ageing population. Therefore, we aimed to analyse trends in intracerebral haemorrhage incidence from 1985 to 2008 in the population-based registry of Dijon, France, taking into consideration the intracerebral haemorrhage location, the effect of age and the changes in the distribution of risk factors and premorbid treatments.

Prognostic value of early epileptic seizures on mortality and functional disability in acute stroke: the Dijon Stroke Registry (1985-2010).

We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of early epileptic seizures after stroke. All consecutive patients with a first-ever stroke were prospectively identified within the population of Dijon, France, thanks to a population-based registry, from 1985 to 2010. Early epileptic seizures were defined as seizures occurring within 14 days after stroke onset.

Effect of previous statin therapy on severity and outcome in ischemic stroke patients: a population-based study.

Although statin therapy has been shown to be effective in the prevention of ischemic stroke, its effect on stroke severity and early outcome is still controversial. We aimed to evaluate the association between statin use before onset and both initial severity and functional outcome in ischemic stroke patients. All cases of first-ever ischemic stroke that occurred in Dijon, France (151,000 inhabitants) between 2006 and 2011 were prospectively identified from the Dijon Stroke Registry.
