- Description
- Vascular disease devastates the lives of many Tasmanians. Using a statewide, data-linkage approach, we will report the age, gender and geographic distribution of risk factors for vascular disease (including diabetes, high cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency and kidney disease), then see how these risk factors link to illness and death.

- Description
- Stroke continues to be a major public health issue. It is the third most common cause of death. The financial cost in Australia is estimated to be $5 billion each year. Tasmania and South Australia are the worst affected States. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is a major modifiable risk factor for stroke. AF is associated with a five times increased risk of stroke and is responsible for up to 25% of strokes in elderly adults. Recently, international guidelines and expert consensus statements have recommended more widespread screening for AF in those aged 65 years or older. The case is compelling - AF is common and a leading cause of stroke. Unfortunately, AF often has no symptoms and is commonly undiagnosed or untreated by the time stroke occurs. AF-related strokes are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs, yet they are highly preventable with the use of warfarin or newer anticoagulant drugs. Given the availability of effective therapy, along with accurate and inexpensive screening technology, population-based AF screening has the potential to become an important public health program. In older age groups, identification and management of AF is the most significant way to prevent stroke.Internationally, there have been recent recommendations for more widespread screening for AF in those aged 65 years or older, as a cost-effective strategy for stroke prevention. This project will raise public awareness of AF and improve its detection, and subsequently lessen the burden of stroke in Tasmania. We intend to screen approximately 3,000 Tasmanians aged 65 years or older, and without previously diagnosed AF. Screening will take place throughout most of 2018 at a range of community venues across Tasmania.

- Description
- This project will use the AUSDRISK tool in a random mail-out to seniors card holders and via clinical contact at Clarence ICC (to increase the numbers of adults assessed in healthcare settings). Training will be provided for optomeyes and Clarence ICC personnel in the use of the tool. Follow up will be conducted with respondents who scored as being high risk, including recommended management by both the individual and their GP.
