Background: Dementia is a frequent condition in stroke patients.
Aims: To investigate the effect of dementia on access to diagnostic procedures in ischaemic stroke patients.
Methods: All cases of ischaemic stroke from 2006 to 2010 were identified from the population-based Stroke Registry of Dijon, France.
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.

Methods: All cases of first-ever ICH were identified from the population-based Stroke Registry of Dijon, France from 1985 to 2009. Clinical and radiological information was recorded.
We aimed to demonstrate that a stroke network is able to reduce the proportion of recurrent cerebrovascular events. In 2003, we set up a care network with the aim to reduce the proportion of stroke recurrence. For the statistical analysis, recurrent cerebrovascular events observed from 1985 to 2002 within the population of Dijon made it possible to model trends using Poisson logistic regression.

These 7 patients presented a clinical pattern marked by focal paraesthesia, with several stereotyped focal episodes (5 of the 7 cases), lasting less than 30 min (6 of the 7 cases), and associated with a cognitive decline (4 of the 7 cases). Headache was present in only 1 case.
