Stroke should be studied in a population-wide context because a large proportion of the burden of care for stroke is borne by health services outside the hospital sector and by families of affected…

Incidence, Event Rates, and Early Outcome of Stroke in Dublin, Ireland: The North Dublin Population Stroke Study

High incidence rates of stroke in Dublin are found compared with those in similar high-income countries; this is likely explained in part by high rates of subtype-specific risk factors.

Geographic Variations in Stroke Incidence and Mortality Among Older Populations in Four US Communities

To understand geographic variations in stroke incidence among older US populations who experience the majority of stroke burden, comparing stroke incidence and mortality rates in 4 US communities is an important step in improving preventive practices of stroke.

Stroke epidemiology, prevention, and management strategies at a regional level: Latin America and the Caribbean

Epidemiology of stroke in Northern Italy: the Cerebrovascular Aosta Registry, 2004–2008

Data on stroke incidence and case-fatality were similar to those of other high-income countries, however, differences were found in the distribution of risk factors and prognosis across the stroke types and ischaemic stroke subtypes.

Incidence and Outcomes of Acute Cerebrovascular Events: Methodology of the Population-Based Normandy Stroke Study

The Normandy Stroke Study is a prospective population-based study of all strokes and transient ischemic attacks in a large urban, suburban, and rural area in the Northwest of France to meet the current gold standard in stroke epidemiological study.

Incidence, 30-day case-fatality rate, and prognosis of stroke in Iquique, Chile: a 2-year community-based prospective study (PISCIS project)

Stroke Associated with Atrial Fibrillation – Incidence and Early Outcomes in the North Dublin Population Stroke Study

AF-associated stroke occurred in one third of all patients and was associated with a distinct profile of recurrent, severe and disabling stroke, and _targeted strategies to increase anticoagulation rates may provide a substantial benefit to prevent severe disabling stroke at a population level.

Changes in stroke incidence, outcome, and associated factors in Porto between 1998 and 2011

Risk of stroke, mainly of hemorrhagic stroke, was substantially reduced over time and timely action in acute phase was responsible for the decline in disability across periods.

Burden of stroke in black populations in sub-Saharan Africa

Incidence of Stroke in Europe at the Beginning of the 21 st Century The European Registers of Stroke

Differences in prior-to-stroke risk factors were found among the populations with prevalence of hypertension highest in Warsaw and Kaunas and lowest in menorca and Sesto Fiorentino and Menorca.

Comparing stroke incidence worldwide: what makes studies comparable?

The "ideal" stroke incidence study does not exist, but studies closely approaching it will reveal the most reliable and comparable results, particularly for developing countries.

Approaches to the problems of measuring the incidence of stroke: the Auckland Stroke Study, 1991-1992.

This study demonstrates the importance of the use of comprehensive case-finding sources and suggests approaches to overcoming the difficulties in monitoring stroke incidence in large populations.

Direct Assessment of Completeness of Ascertainment in a Stroke Incidence Study

Direct assessment of ascertainment suggests that the supplementary methods used in recent studies can lead to near-complete ascertainment in population-based stroke incidence study (Oxford Vascular Study).

Surveillance of stroke: a global perspective.

A stepwise approach to increasing detail in the data to be collected for surveillance of stroke is suggested, which will allow countries with different levels of resources and capacity in their health systems to collect useful information for policy.

Monitoring stroke. An international challenge.

It is shown that in recent decades stroke death rates have declined dramatically, at least in industrial countries, with as much as a 7% per annum decline occurring in Japan since the mid-1970s.

A prospective study of acute cerebrovascular disease in the community: the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project--1981-86. 2. Incidence, case fatality rates and overall outcome at one year of cerebral infarction, primary intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Generally more optimistic early prognosis in the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, particularly for cases of cerebral infarction, has important implications for the planning of clinical trials and for the expected impact that any treatment might have on the general population.

Estimation of the incidence of stroke using a capture-recapture model including covariates.

It is suggested that cost-effectiveness of routine registers might be increased by using the combination of sources and covariates which most accurately estimates the total number of cases, rather than by aiming for 100% completeness.
