Delighted to share our new paper, a #datalinkage stroke incidence study, published in @StrokeAHA_ASA 🧠 https://t.co/hBQAWWownJ

Results will help improve #stroke prevention for #Aboriginal Australians in #remote areas.

The Melb Mobile Stroke Unit has begun a telemedicine trial. The neurologist is randomized to on-board or telemed. @FreqFrequentist describes the trial protocol & DOOR outcome measures to ensure safety & time outcome measures. #stroke2023 @AnnaBalabanski @VYogendrakumar

1/ This study using whole-population multi-jurisdictional person-linked data from hospital & death datasets in Western Australia, South Australia & Northern Territory found the Aboriginal population had a higher #stroke incidence & at younger age than non-Aboriginal populations.

[Anna Balabanski @AnnaBalabanski]

@rodonnabhain @StrokeAHA_ASA @LeeNedkoff @TimothyKleinig @SSA_Stroke @AusStroke I'm also a big believer in extra support for regional/remote health services, including through culturally appropriate stroke telemedicine!

@rodonnabhain @StrokeAHA_ASA @LeeNedkoff @TimothyKleinig @SSA_Stroke @AusStroke Identifying/treating risk factors predisposing to stroke/ICH will reduce incidence (including fatal incidence) in young Aboriginal Australians - particularly chronic kidney disease & hypertension. Risk factor screening should commence at age 18 (at the latest)

Just a reminder, for individuals who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and/or Māori, the SSA are sponsoring an Indigenous Bursary Award. Applications close Friday June 16. See https://t.co/EpJdLYdYl3 for details and application form.
