Description
Counting every stroke in a city takes more than hospital records, argue Fanny Moustafiades and six co-authors in a 2026 conference abstract. They describe the Lille stroke registry in France, which hunts cases through many overlapping sources: hospitals, clinics, emergency services, rehab centers, nursing homes, death certificates, and town halls.
Between 2015 and 2023 the registry logged 2,928 strokes. Nearly every case, 96 percent, surfaced in more than one source, averaging 3.6 sources each. Hospital data did most of the work, but non-hospital sources alone rescued 4.3 percent of cases that hospitals would have missed. The authors conclude that single-source counting undercounts stroke, and that layered sources make incidence figures trustworthy.
