A stroke prevalence study was carried out in five hospitals within the Nottingham Area Health Authority on a selected day in May 1985, using both the acute medical and health care of the elderly wards. The data were gathered by the nursing staff. Of 913 patients, 187 (20.5%) had been admitted to hospital as a direct consequence of stroke and a further 83 (9.1 %) had a history of stroke unrelated to their current hospitalization. Approximately one in three patients on health care of the elderly wards had sustained a stroke as compared with approximately one in eight of those on medical wards. Dependency in each of seven activities was significantly correlated with the number of strokes sustained.
