Background. Although the burden of stroke in terms of mortality and disability has been well documented in previous years, data after 2000 are limited. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to identify the epidemiology of stroke in the US and EU5 nations from data published in 2000 and later. Methods. Data from literature databases and online sources were collated to identify information relating to the incidence, prevalence, and mortality of stroke from the year 2000 onwards. Results and Conclusions. Twenty-three data sources were identified. The incidence of and mortality due to stroke both increase with age and are greater in males compared to females. Stroke is a common problem and likely to worsen in the US and EU5 as their populations age. However, pre-2000 trends of decreasing stroke mortality over time have continued after 2000, reflecting a consistent improvement in the treatment and care of patients with stroke.
背景。尽管过去几年中风在死亡率和致残率方面的负担已有充分记录,但2000年以后的数据有限。因此,本文旨在根据2000年及以后发表的数据确定美国和欧盟五国的中风流行病学情况。方法。整理来自文献数据库和在线资源的数据,以确定2000年起与中风发病率、患病率和死亡率相关的信息。结果与结论。共确定了23个数据来源。中风的发病率和死亡率均随年龄增长而上升,男性高于女性。中风是一个常见问题,在美国和欧盟五国,随着人口老龄化可能会恶化。然而,2000年以后,中风死亡率随时间下降的2000年前趋势仍在持续,这反映出中风患者的治疗和护理持续改善。
