Disparities in Stroke Outcomes and Care Delivery in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: FLorida Puerto Rico Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Study (FLiPER-AF)
In this study, FL-PR Stroke Registry will be used to determine novel data on disparities in
stroke care and outcomes for patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in 'real life' hospital
setting. Investigators will evaluate clinical practice for AF detection and treatment in
stroke patients within large stroke hospital systems of care with multi-ethnic patient
populations and thereby representative of the states of Florida and Puerto Rico. The results
of this study will be of critical importance for secondary stroke prevention by identifying
gaps in stroke care for patients with AF and by recognizing the needs for developing targeted
interventions to reduce disparities in diverse populations of stroke patients with AF and
improve systems of care for all stroke patients with AF.
