The Japan Standard Stroke Registry, Study (JSSRS) Group, is creating a permanent national acute stroke databank using an international stroke evaluation index. We analysed ultra acute thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke. Our data suggests that thrombolysis is effective in acute ischemic stroke in Japan. Concerning brain hemorrhage, our data shows that significantly better results were obtained from selectivery operated patients. The JSSRS system is basically working as a self computed database for acute stroke hospitals. Therefore, this database can help to confirm statistical data concerning patients and provide to make compaisions with other hospitals or Japanese data easily. It may also be a great help for preparing original data for informed consent and for information on hospital stroke therapy.
