Study intervention combines both structural and patient-centred elements. Study development was based on the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions. In 15 intervention regions, a cross-sectoral multidisciplinary network is established to enhance CVRF control as well as detection and treatment of post-stroke complications. Recommendations on CVRF are based on high-quality secondary prevention guidelines. Study physicians use motivational interviewing and agree with patients on therapeutic targets. While hospitalised, patients also receive dietary counselling and a health-passport to track their progress. During regular visits, CVRF management and potential complications are monitored. The intervention is compared to 15 regions providing usual care. The primary endpoint is the combination of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction and death assessed 12 months after enrolment and adjudicated in a blinded manner.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen patients were enrolled in a pilot phase that demonstrated feasibility of patient recruitment and study procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SANO is investigating a program to reduce outcome events after ischemic stroke by implementing a complex intervention.
