A trial construction of a database of cerebrovascular diseases was done recently by a study group organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. One purpose of the study group was to establish a data bank of cerebrovascular diseases to help realize medical progress in treatment of cerebrovascular diseases based on an analysis of the registered data. In this connection, a joint committee of 5 medical societies related to cerebrovascular diseases plans to make a treatment guideline of cerebrovascular diseases. A joint committee will begin revision work after the treatment guideline is published. It is necessary to inspect the clinical results for treatment carried out under the guideline in order to revise recommended treatments. The purpose of inspection and revision of the treatment guideline is also to realize progress in treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.
The construction of a nationwide system that registers clinical results treated according to the guideline with a data bank of cerebrovascular diseases is desirable so that a joint committee can inspect the efficacy of treatment recommended in the guideline.
