In a cooperative study coordinated by WHO, stroke was registered between 1971 and 1974 in 17 centres both in developing and developed countries. A common operating protocol was used to obtain comparable data. Age-adjusted incidence of stroke shows moderate geographical variations, cerebrovascular accidents being common in all the contrasting populations studied in various parts of the world. Data were also obtained on the types of management of stroke patients, their survival rates, and functional prognosis. Control of hypertension, although known to be effective in the prevention of stroke, seemed to be insufficient in most countries. It is concluded that stroke registers may be used as a source of information for the planning and implementation of stroke control programmes in the community.
在世界卫生组织协调开展的一项合作研究中，1971年至1974年间，在发展中国家和发达国家的17个中心对中风进行了登记。采用了通用的操作方案以获取可比数据。经年龄调整后的中风发病率呈现出一定的地域差异，在世界不同地区研究的所有对比人群中，脑血管意外都很常见。还获取了有关中风患者的治疗类型、生存率和功能预后的数据。尽管已知控制高血压对预防中风有效，但在大多数国家，这方面的控制似乎并不充分。得出的结论是，中风登记可作为社区中风控制项目规划和实施的信息来源。
