Acute stroke treatment in Europe:a questionaire-based survey on behalf of the EFNS Task Force on acute neurological stroke care

In 1997 the EFNS Task Force on Acute Neurological Stroke Care published its acute stroke, stroke recommendations for acute stroke care (Brainin er al., 1997), which, in 1999, was followed by a stroke care inventory (Brainin eI al., 2000) assessing the development of acute stroke care. In 2000 all 33 members of the EFNS Stroke Scientist Panel were asked to complete a questionnaire on the treatment of acute stroke in their country as of 2000. Data were based either on national surveys or a personal estimate of national practice, together with data from the personal practice of the panel member. Data from 22 countries were received. One of the principal findings is the lack of systematic evidence about practice in a significant number of European count.ries, Results illustrate that neurologists have a leading role in implementinn acute stroke treatment guidelines and in adopting new therapeulic methods in most countries, but there is a wide variation in the application of different .therapeutic procedures. ~
