After completion of the project, these data are retrieved in an anonymous form from the performance statistics of the care fund for the intervention and control groups and are compared with each other after adjustment for the age and sex of the insured persons.<br>Mortality as the second primary endpoint is also determined on the basis of the administrative data of the health insurance Company at the end of the project and compared after adjustment for age and gender between the two groups.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary endpoint is the inpatient treatment due to cerebrovascular diseases. Information on hospital treatment due to transient ischemic attacks, cerebral bleeding and ischemic stroke is collected in an anonymous form at the end of the project from the claims data of the health insurance company.
