“…Stroke registry makes valuable epidemiologic information about stroke and have influence on therapeutic and, the physician must identify the cor-rect mechanism of stroke. Ischemic stroke is a complex entity with multiple etiologies and variable clinical manifestations [3]. A well-organized stroke data bank can help to provide much information and numerous insights into these problems.…”

Numerous hospital-based stroke registries have been developed in Iran during last decade. Khorasan Stroke Registry, Khorasan Posterior Circulation Stroke Registry, Khorasan Pediatric Stroke Registry and Khorasan Stroke in Young Adults Registry are among these published registries. Meanwhile, There is only one epidemiologic deigned study of stroke in Iran and Middle East. Based on this standard epidemiologic study; The crude annual incidence rate of First Ever Stroke (FES) is 139 (95% CI, 128 to 149) per 100 000; for men, 144 (95% CI, 128 to 159), and for women, 133 (95% CI, 118 to 148). The incidence rates increases significantly with each decade of life and is similar in men and women. Subtypes of FES in 81.9%Â of patients is ischemic stroke,12.7% is intracerebral hemorrhage, and 2.4% have subarachnoid hemorrhage. The crude annual incidence rate per 100 000 inhabitants is 113 (95% CI, 104 to 123) for ischemic stroke, 18 (95% CI, 14 to 21) for intracerebral hemorrhage and 3 (95% CI, 2 to 5) for subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ischemic strokes are occurring approximately 1 decade earlier in Iran than in other countries.

“…For rating scale, often inter-rater agreement (IRA) and interrater reliability (IRR) are not distinguished [11,12]. IRR are computed by different approaches like percentages of agreement (PA), kappa, weighted kappa and naturally results in different values and conflicting results of IRR.…”

Objective: Linearity implies high correlation but the converse is not true. For meaningful application of correlation and other descriptive and inferential analysis, checking of linearity, and assumptions of correlation including normality are needed The paper describes method of converting ordinal scores from Likert/ Rating scale to continuous, monotonic, equi-distant scores with fixed zero point and following normal distribution. Method: The method involves selection of weights for different response categories of different items so that weighted item score forms an arithmetic progression. Normalization of such score followed by further weights to items to ensure equal item-total correlation justifies addition of such converted scores. Results: Converted scores satisfying many desired properties can assess progress/deterioration of a patient over time and facilitate comparison, ranking, classification and assessing effectiveness of treatment plan. It also helps in computing reliability of Likert or Rating scale avoiding assumptions of Cronbach’s alpha. Conclusions: Converted scores will help the researchers and practitioners to find improved content validity and meaningfully undertake correlation and other analysis under parametric set up for deriving useful and valid conclusions about the sample, population and test parameters
