The causes, risk factors and outcome of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) in 150 patients admitted to Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, between 1983 and 1985 were studied. Cerebral thrombosis was the commonest cause of CVA (50.6%), followed by cerebral haemorrhage (24%) and cerebral embolism (15%). The single most important risk factor for CVA was hypertension. Mortality was highest with cerebral haemorrhage (89.4%) and lowest with cerebral embolism (13%). An important measure which could reduce the incidence of CVA is the vigorous and sustained control of hypertension.
对1983年至1985年间收治于埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴提库尔·安贝萨医院的150例脑血管意外（CVA）患者的病因、危险因素及预后进行了研究。脑血栓形成是CVA最常见的病因（50.6%），其次是脑出血（24%）和脑栓塞（15%）。CVA唯一最重要的危险因素是高血压。脑出血的死亡率最高（89.4%），脑栓塞的死亡率最低（13%）。一项可以降低CVA发病率的重要措施是积极持续地控制高血压。
