Abstract

Objective: The German Stroke Registers Study Group (ADSR) is a voluntary network of re- gional databases for quality assurance and health services research in stroke. Since 2003 the combined data analyses of this network is funded within the national competence net stroke. The article summarises methods and results from the combined analyses. Material and methods: The stroke registers in Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine, Northwest-Ger- many, Rhineland-Palatinate and Schleswig- Holstein participated between 2000 and 2005. Data were combined centrally by a coordinat- ing office following a priori defined criteria. Results: From 2000 to 2005, 513 hospitals/de- partments participated in the project, docu- menting 276 021 patients with stroke or TIA. Based on this dataset, patterns of routine stroke care in Germany were investigated; the data pool was also used for developing evi- dence-based performance measures for acute stroke care in Germany as well as for defining standards for data collection and data ana- lyses. Conclusions: The ADSR data pool was success- fully used as methodological platform for health services research and quality assurance in stroke in Germany during the funding period.
