Brief summary
The aim of this study is to establish a prospective cohort of patients with cervical/intracranial arteries stenosis in China.
Detailed description
A prospective cohort of patients with cervical/intracranial arteries stenosis from various regions of China will be established. This prospective cohort is used to identify the distribution of risk factors in the patients with cervical/intracranial arteries stenosis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of stroke | One year | Incidence of stroke events including ischemic stroke, transient ischaemic attack and haemorrhagic stroke. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in the stenosis rate of cervical and intracranial arteries | One year | The changes in the stenosis rate of cervical and intracranial arteries. |
| Incidence of new clinical vascular events | One year | Incidence of new clinical vascular events (ischemic stroke/ hemorrhagic stroke/ transient ischemic stroke/ myocardial infarction/ vascular death) as a cluster and evaluated individually. Vascular death was defined as death due to stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), systemic hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, pulmonary embolism, sudden death, or arrhythmia. |
