Abstract

Lifestyle changes and evolving healthcare practices in Korea have influenced disease patterns and medical care. Since strokes have high disease burden in countries with aging populations, it is necessary to evaluate the associated recent disease characteristics and patient care patterns. The Korean Stroke Registry is a nationwide, multicenter, prospective, hospital-based stroke registry in Korea used to monitor these changes across the population.
