Summary
During the middle years of the twentieth century, clinicians advanced their knowledge of clinical phenomenology by personally studying and describing small groups of patients. In 1935, Charles Aring and Houston Meritt studied a group of patients coming to necropsy at the Boston City Hospital to clarify the differential diagnosis between brain hemorrhages and infarcts [1]. Dalsgaard-Nielsen analyzed the relationship between clinical and postmortem diagnosis in all autopsied cases of “cerebral apoplexy” seen in the neurology department of the Frederiksberg hospital in Denmark from 1940 through 1953. He discussed the clinical characteristics that might allow differentiation between hemorrhage and thromboembolism [2]. The excellent filing and record systems at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, facilitated analyses by Jack Whisnant and Leonard Kurland and their colleagues of the characteristics of stroke patients in Olmstead County, Minnesota, during several epochs (1945–1954 and 1954–1969) [3]. These studies were all retrospective and selected specified data items to analyze. The data collection depended on information already collected in the hospital records.
