Abstract

Risk factors

Stroke

Treatment outcome

In Australia, about 38 000 strokes are recorded each year, and stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death.1, 2 For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples (hereinafter respectfully, Aboriginal people), detailed stroke incidence data are sparse; most studies provide evidence that the age-standardised incidence is two to three times as high as for non-Indigenous people,3-5 and as much as 6.5 times as for those aged under 55 years.4 Aboriginal stroke incidence data are mostly derived from retrospective sources (linked administrative data and retrospective clinical collections); the single, prospective ideal report included very small cell sizes, affecting precision, generalisability, and clinical utility
