Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Prevalence of Restless legs syndrome in patients with stroke or Transient ischemic attack vs. prevalence in controls.	At time of interview	The frequency (prevalence) of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in patients who have suffered stroke or TIA will be compared to that of subjects who have not suffered stroke or TIA (controls). The two groups will be stratified with regard to age and gender. Statistical comparison will be made by univariate analyses and by multivariate logistic regression analyses (which will include cerebrovascular risk factors besides stroke or TIA).
