How we manage stroke in AustraliaCardiovascular disease seriesHow we manage stroke in Australia presents a comprehensive picture of the impact of stroke on patient, their carers, the heath system and aged care services. It brings together the latest Australian data on the various phases of the management of people with stroke across the continuum of care. Where possible, it compares current practice to clinical guidelines for best practice in the care of stroke patients. It identifies improvements in care, areas where more needs to be done and gaps in our knowledge. Authored by Senes S. Published 15 February 2006; ISSN 1323-9236; AIHW cat. no. CVD 31; 60pp.; $22.00 |

A general practice view of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in AustraliaCardiovascular disease series no. 18This report provides a snapshot of general practice care of cardiovascular conditions, diabetes and some related risk behaviours. It is based on the Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health (BEACH) program, a study of general practice activity in Australia, for the period April 1998 - March 1999. The data in this report represent a baseline against which future patterns in general practice can be compared and, together with other information, will help to interpret trends in cardiovascular disease incidence. These data may also be useful in the development of guidelines for general practice care of patients with cardiovascular conditions and diabetes, and will help to guide the allocation of resources to improve practice.
