NCT ID: NCT01758952 Recruiting - Non-cardiac Surgery Clinical Trials

Incidence and Risk Factors of Peri-operative Stroke in Non-cardiac,Non-neurosurgical Surgeries

POSIC
Start date: March 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Stroke is an important cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients > 60 years. In cardiac, neurological and carotid surgery the incidence is known to be high (2.2-5.2%). However, little is known regarding perioperative stroke following other types of surgery including general, urological, orthopedic, thoracic and gynecological procedures. We therefore propose to undertake a multicenter, observational cohort study, to determine the current incidence of, the risk factors for, and outcome associated with perioperative stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurological surgery.
