We compared access to care, acculturation, and biological risk factors among Mexican American and non-Hispanic white stroke patients and the general population. Methods—The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi project is a population-based stroke surveill...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Networks in Stroke Surveillance: The Brain Attack Surveillance In Corpus Christi (BASIC) Study
Introduction This work illustrates the potential utility of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a screening tool for stroke surveillance studies. Neural networks' greater predictive power have been successfully used in medical diagnostic decision support systems (MDSS)1. Screening is a key step for case ascertainment in population-based studies. This step requires a great deal of time, effort...
متن کاملDesigning multi-ethnic stroke studies: the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project.
The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project is a population-based stroke study comparing Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites. Extensive effort is made to detect all patients regardless of ethnicity and ensure equal participation in the interview among both groups. We describe here the study's design and process evaluation with a focus on reducing bias in case ascertain...
متن کاملDefining cause of death in stroke patients: The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project.
Stroke mortality is an important national health statistic and represents a frequent endpoint for epidemiologic studies. Several methods have been used to determine cause of death after stroke, but their agreement and reliability are unknown. Two hundred consecutive deaths of transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke patients were identified (January 2000-September 2001) from an ongoing popu...
متن کاملFlow and Suspended Sediment Events in the Near-Coastal Zone off Corpus Christi, Texas
Each inner continental shelf region has an interesting combination of current, wave and sediment regimes. White et al. (1983) characterize the surface sediments off Corpus Christi, Texas, as dominantly very fine sand in the nearshore zone, from the shoreface out 6-8 km, transitioning to mud (silt-clay) farther offshore. The pattern does not vary substantially alongshore. They indicate that the ...
