Welcome to ANSR
Stroke Registry for the AK Native population
The Alaska Native Stroke Registry Project is working to develop the infrastructure to conduct state wide surveillance of stroke in the Alaska Native population.
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in Alaska Native people. In addition, this population continues to experience high stroke mortality despite a drop in stroke mortality in the general US population. The epidemiology of stroke within this population has not been well studied. The ANSR project benefits from over thirty years experience with chronic disease registries at the Alaska Native Medical Center.
