| Report Name | Returns | Notes |
| ? Stroke TIA 2.1 Casefinding – Potential Stroke Indicator but no QoF Code | Patients with codes which might indicate stroke/TIA such as ‘stroke annual review’ or ‘amaurosis fugax’ There are two separate reports that subdivide admin and clinical codes | Check for uncoded stroke/TIA and/or consider removing any erroneous historic codes. |
| ? Stroke TIA 2.2 Casefinding – Vascular dementia codes without H/O stroke/TIA | Many patients with vascular dementia have had cerebral infarcts | Review hospital letters and scan results to look for evidence of past cerebral infarction |
| ? Stroke TIA 2.3 Casefinding – Unclassified stroke type # | Patients with code for stroke which isn’t further classified as a haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke | Review hospital letters and scan results to look for evidence of stroke type. Replace generic stroke code with specific code |
| ? Stroke TIA 2.31 Casefinding – Non-classified stroke on antiplatelets or anticoagulant | Patient as in 2.3 but already taking antiplatelets or anticoagulants so more likely to have had ischaemic stroke | As above. |
