Welcome to the UKSF 2021 Meeting Program Scheduling

R4VaD is a multicentre observational study of cognition after stroke, aiming to determine rates of cognitive impairment and develop better models of risk prediction. We have collected pre-morbid and pre-stroke cognition, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors, along with medical history in over 2000 participants from stroke centres across the UK. We also aim to improve mechanistic understanding via the study of genetic and inflammatory blood samples and nested mechanistic substudies, including advanced neuroimaging and blood pressure monitoring. In 2020 we also obtained approval to continue recruitment to R4VaD so as to obtain objective data on COVID-19 and stroke. We will present our progress with this study and update on the next steps following our final few months of recruitment. This meeting is for any sites involved in R4VaD and anyone else who is interested in hearing about the progress to date.
