Abstract

Analytic issues in stroke data base research are reviewed, drawing upon relevant experiences in the analyses of three observational data bases from a variety of clinical fields. The specifics of the data base construct, statistical issues and variations in possible interpretations of results are discussed. Responsible analyses of and conservative inferences from observational data bases are stressed.
