Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the affect of multiple health education interventions for statins medication Persistence and clinical prognosis of ischemic stroke patients at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Detailed description

The study is a prospective, multicenter, hospital-based study on secondary prevention for patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases between May 2014 and June 2015. Physicians from 24 hospitals in Beijing underwent a standard secondary prevention training of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases by professional training, instruction manuals, stratification management software. In order to improve the persistence of taking preventive secondary medicine, IS patients from these 24 hospitals received healthy education through manuals and Digital Video Disc about health education during hospitalization and acquired secondary preventive knowledge of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases through regular health education messages during 6 months after discharge. Patients with IS from other 6 hospitals were used as a control, and no such intervention was given to them. Telephone follow-up was performed at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the onset of cerebral infarction, during which the use of antiplatelet and statins drugs and recurrence of IS were recorded. Patients who took antiplatelet drugs or statins at three follow-ups were regarded as persistent antiplatelet drugs or statins taking within one year after the onset of the disease. The main prognostic indicator was the recurrence of IS and persistence of statins medication within 1 year, and the main purpose was to explore the impact of persistent statins use on IS recurrence.
