↵* All events (with the exception of age- and sex-specific case fatality) were age- and sex-standardized to the 2001 Ontario population aged 20 years or more with diabetes.
↵† The denominator for brain imaging and thrombolysis included people admitted to hospital with events between Apr. 1, 2012, and Mar. 31, 2017. The denominator for carotid revascularization, discharge to inpatient rehabilitation and case fatality included those admitted to hospital between Apr. 1, 2011, and Mar. 31, 2016.
↵‡ Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain; calculated in those with any stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
↵§ Calculated in those with ischemic stroke (TIA and hemorrhagic stroke excluded).
↵¶ Calculated in those with any stroke (TIA excluded).
