“…These ratios are similar to those reported in Sweden (16%), 3 Estonia, USSR (18%), 6 and Japan (5.5%) 11 but are approximately 4 times lower than that reported in Rochester, Minnesota (41%). 4 During 1985-1994, the ratio of TIA to ischemic stroke incidence in Dijon, France 2 ranged from 14% to 35% in men and from 15% to 39% in women.…”

Background and Purpose-Population-based data on transient ischemic attack (TIA) incidence are scarce. This study defines incidence rates of first-ever TIA in Novosibirsk, Russia, during 1987Russia, during -1997 and compares the incidence of first TIA with that of first stroke. Methods-This is a prospective registry population-based study of all new cases of TIA and stroke in an overall population of 455 765 residents of Novosibirsk. All new TIA and stroke incident cases (whether inpatient or outpatient) that occurred during 1987-1988 and 1996 -1997 study periods were recorded and analyzed. A 95% CI was estimated for all age-and sex-specific strata. Results-During the 2 study periods, a total of 211 patients with first TIA were registered in the population studied. The crude annual TIA incidence rate per 100 000 residents was 16 (95% CI, 8 to 33) in -1988 and 29 (95% CI, 9 to 87) in 1996 -1997; these rates standardized to the European population were 17 (95% CI, 8 to 34) and 27 (95% CI, 9 to 79), respectively. Eighty-three percent of TIAs occurred in the carotid arteries (rate, 48/100 000), 10% occurred in the vertebrobasilar territory (rate, 6/100 000), and 7% of cases had a TIA of uncertain distribution (rate, 2/100 000). Conclusions-Unlike stroke incidence rate, the incidence rate of TIA in Novosibirsk is similar to that in other populationsand constitutes approximately 10% of stroke incidence. For the last decade (1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997), there was a tendency, although statistically insignificant, toward increasing incidence rate of TIA in the population studied. (Stroke. 2000;31:9-13.) Key Words: epidemiology Ⅲ incidence Ⅲ stroke Ⅲ transient ischemic attack P opulation-based data on transient ischemic attack (TIA) incidence are scarce. Although incidence of TIA has been reported for numerous sites worldwide, only few incident population-based studies on TIA in all age groups of the population have been reported thus far. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] No such data in Russia have ever been published in the international literature. However, data on TIA incidence trends are important in determining mechanisms and factors responsible for the occurrence of this disorder. Thus far only 2 truly populationbased studies 2,4 have addressed a relationship between TIA and stroke incidence rates over a period of 1 or a few decades. Herein we summarize the TIA incidence rates in Novosibirsk, Russia, for the last 10 years, from 1987-1988 to 1996 -1997, and we compare the incidence of first TIA with that of first stroke obtained in the same study population and during the same study periods. Subjects and MethodsThis prospective registry population-based study was conducted during 1987-1988 and 1996 -1997 in the general, unselected, and representative districts of Novosibirsk, Oktyabrsky District and Leninsky District. The population at risk, as determined by all-union census estimates in 1989, was 155 091 residents (85 028 women and 70 063 men) in Oktyabrsky District and...

“…A study (in Rochester, Minnesota) observed a crude age-and sex-adjusted incidence rate of 68 per 100,000 persons per year for the years 1985 to 1989, the highest incidence of 584 per 100,000 noted among individuals aged 75 to 84 [8]. Other population-based TIA incidence rates range from 18 per 100,000 persons per year from 1987 to 1988 in Novosibirsk, Russia [9] to 37 per 100,000 persons per year from 1970-1973 in Estonia [10]. Data from Sweden, England, France, and Japan have also been within this range [11][12][13][14].…”

Stroke is the fourth killer and number one cause of adult disability in the United States. The estimated direct and indirect costs of stroke care in this country are $68.9 billion for 2009. The prevalence of stroke and its cost will undoubtedly rise as the aging population increases. In addition, stroke incidence and mortality are increasing in less developed countries in which the lifestyles and population restructuring are rapidly changing. More population-based research to assess incidence, risk factors, and outcomes are needed in these countries. Epidemiologic studies can help identify groups of individuals or regions at higher risk for stroke. They can also help us better understand the natural history of certain conditions and therefore push the direction of therapeutic investigations. Furthermore, the study of trends across different time periods and different populations can help investigators evaluate the effects of stroke care programs and treatment options.

“…In addition, the compatibility of the study designs enables the comparison of results with other populations. Three studies have been conducted in Tartu, Estonia: first in 1970 to 1973, 9 second in 1991 to 1993, 10 and third in 2001 to 2003. 11 The purpose of the present study was to estimate the time trends of stroke during the last 10 years, in the Estonian population, by comparison with the results from the 2 latest stroke registries from Tartu.…”

Background and Purpose-The purpose of the present study was to estimate the time trends of stroke during the last 10 years in an Estonian population by comparison of the results from the 2 previous stroke registries from Tartu. Methods-The Third Stroke Registry in Tartu was conducted from January 12, 2001, to November 30, 2003. The previous registry was composed from January 1, 1991, to December 31, 1993. The design of both studies is similar, using the same study criteria and classification schemes. Results-A total of 1280 patients with first-ever stroke were registered during the 5-year study period. The overall incidence rate of 230 per 100 000 declined between the studies to 188 per 100 000 age-standardized to the European standard population. The age-adjusted incidence rate for women decreased from 204 to 164 per 100 000 between the 2 periods. In most of the age groups, the overall case-fatality rates declined during the second period; the trend in the age group 75 to 84 years was statistically significant. Conclusions-The incidence of first-ever stroke in Tartu has declined significantly during the past decade and reached the level of the first registry. The 28-day case-fatality rate has declined from 30% to 26%. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, incidence of stroke, and ischemic heart disease has been high in Eastern European countries. Our data show that the situation has improved. (Stroke. 2005;36:2544-2548.)
