In 2021, an average of 23 people died of stroke each day in Australia, making stroke one of the leading causes of death.1 Acute post-stroke symptoms contribute to this mortality, causing loss of life and independence. A team of NHMRC-funded researchers designed cost-effective and easy to implement protocols for the monitoring and treatment of patients in the 72 hours following a stroke. Implementation of these protocols has led to improvements in survival and health outcomes. They have been adopted into hospitals throughout Australia and in at least 18 countries across the world.
