This report presents information obtained from the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network (RCSN) Ontario Stroke Audit for fiscal year 2002/03, which was prior to the full implementation of the Ontario Stroke Strategy and therefore provides baseline data for ongoing strategy evaluation. The audit was performed to evaluate the characteristics, management and outcomes of stroke patients in the province, with comparisons by Ontario Stroke Strategy region, by institutional designation within the Stroke Strategy (Regional Stroke Centre, District Stroke Centre, non-designated hospital), by hospital peer group (Regional Stroke Centre, academic hospital, large community hospital, small community hospital), and by Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) region.
