Outline• Past: build the evidence base
– Find the reliable evidence (RCT’s)– Review it systematically
• Present: identify treatments that are– Effective, use widely– Ineffective/no evidence – do NOT use
• Future – Identify the important questions– Focus on interventions for stroke in low-
and middle-income countries

The Cochrane Collaboration • International network of more than 28,000
dedicated people from over 100 countries.
• Aim to help healthcare providers, policy-makers, patients, their advocates and carers, make well-informed decisions about health care,
• Preparing, updating, and promoting the accessibility of Cochrane Reviews – over 5,000 so far, published online in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.

As many as 48% of stroke patients being referred to AIIMS are found to have been prescribed useless, expensive drugs at the hospitals where they have come from, says a random audit of 250 prescriptions. The audit, done by Professor Kameshwar Prasad in the Department of Neurology at AIIMS was presented at the 8th World Stroke Congress in Brazil

Future: three steps to make sure the research addresses
important questions

Step 1: Make knowledge accessible
![Page 22: Evidence-based stroke medicine, past present and future Peter Sandercock University of Edinburgh, UK WSC, Brasilia Presidential Lecture 13 th October 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649c755503460f94928193/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The James Lind Alliance is a non-profit making initiative, with DORIS, it brought patients, carers and clinicians together to identify and prioritise the top 10 uncertainties, or 'unanswered questions', about the effects of stroke rehabilitation
• This information will help ensure that those who fund health research are aware of what matters to both patients and clinicians.
Step 2: Identify uncertainties

Step 3: collaborate with low-and middle-income countries
![Page 25: Evidence-based stroke medicine, past present and future Peter Sandercock University of Edinburgh, UK WSC, Brasilia Presidential Lecture 13 th October 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649c755503460f94928193/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Country comparisons of human stroke research since 2001
• Per population, there was a negative association (r0.60) between burden of stroke (disability-adjusted life-years lost) and number of articles per population.
• In China, South Korea, and Singapore, the annual growth of stroke articles was more than twice the worldwide average.
• Multinational collaboration was common in Europe and North America, but was relatively uncommon between Asian countries.

Brazilian Cochrane Centre
• Secured free access to The Cochrane Library, throughout Latin America and the Caribbean,
• The BCC has also provided research and training resources to more than 200 graduate students of health-related programs,

“The Cochrane Collaboration has a special interest in involving people from all walks of life to participate in its activities and provides considerable support to enable this. This heady mix of social relevance, good science, altruism and global partnership makes The Cochrane Collaboration one of the most valuable and exciting enterprises in the world today.” - Prathap Tharyan, Director of the South Asian Cochrane Centre, Vellore, India
Our vision: healthcare decision-making throughout the world informed by high-
quality, timely research evidence

• Non-personal interventions could avert 21 million DALY’s wordlwide– Salt reductions through voluntary agreements with food
industry– Population-wide reduction in salt intake– Health education
• Personal interventions for people at high absolute risk could avert 63 million DALY’s worldwide– Individual-based hypertension treatment– Individual-based treatment for high cholesterol– Absolute-risk approach (treatment if absolute risk of a vascular
event over 10 few years > 35%)
• Overall, the combination could avert 50% of the global burden of disease due to cardiovascular events
