“…The 28-day case fatality rate documented from the Arcadia based registry study, was similar to the ones documented in Tartu -Estonia, 26-30% [40], L'Aquila -Italy, 29% [41] and the Sicilian Aeolia Archipelago -Italy, 24.4% [20]. On the other hand, substantially higher case fatality rate has been reported in Bulgaria, 35% [42], while in Krakow and Zabrze -Poland, the documented case fatality rates were significantly lower, 17.8% and 16.6%, respectively [43,69]. In Prague -Czech Republic, the case fatality rate was reduced even more, to 10.7% [44].…”

Although strokes have been documented since about 3 millennia, they remain today as one of the leading causes of mortality, as well as of subsequent serious long-term physical and mental morbidity, among patients in many different countries all over the world. Greece presents an increase in mortality rates according to World Health Organization, and this fact underlines the need for early diagnosis and treatment, as well as, the need to implement effective prevention strategies for strokes. This review makes an effort to describe the current status of stroke epidemiological features, as well as to present the risk factors prevalent in Greece. The incidence rate is 261-319/100,000 based on the recent population based registry. Stroke appears to be more prevalent in men than in women, and the mean age of stroke onset in Greece is at 70 years of age. Hypertension, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors of stroke in the Greek population, while smoking is the most commonly documented modifiable risk factor in young adults with ischemic stroke. Similar to other parts of the world, ischemic stroke is the most common stroke type. The 28-day case fatality rate for men and women was 26.5%. The mean in-hospital cost per stroke patient was 3624.9 € and the mean rehabilitation cost of outpatients with stroke was 5553.3 €, while the cost proportion of hemorrhagic stroke is higher when compared to ischemic stroke. Stroke is a devastating condition with recognized challenges in identifying effective prevention programs. In Greece, limited data exists regarding the epidemiology of strokes. As a result, the need to conduct new studies and researches across the country is well documented.

“…An analysis of a retrospective registry of stroke cases in Zabrze, Poland, showed that the standardized incidence rate for men was 211/100.000 and 130/100.000 for women. 39 The population-based GROSS study reported stroke incidences for both sexes over a three-year follow-up: 287/100.000 (95% CI, 274–301) for men and 220/100.000 (95% CI, 210–231), for women. 40…”

We searched the available literature in English published between 1 January 2008 and 5 May 2015. Out of 17.789 papers only 56 peer-reviewed papers (29 community-based studies, 17 retrospective studies, 6 reviews, and 4 cross-sectional studies) have been included in the study. This review adopted the epidemiologic transition theory, which classifies countries into four stages according to their levels of industrialization and economy. For the first and second stages, reliable registries and health certification are lacking, and therefore our sought after data were very limited.In the third stage, specifically for Eastern Europe (post-socialist countries), the burden from stroke in women was on the rise, while in the fourth stage, despite an aging population, decreases in stroke incidence, prevalence and mortality have been observed, even in subjects older than 80 years for both sexes. However, regarding studies of US populations, these trends for women were less pronounced for African Americans, and Hispanics as well as Indians. This suggests a "gender-gap" regarding access to treatment and care.In conclusion, identifying the presence of differing global burden between the sexes will allow us to better understand how to prevent, treat, and manage both men and women.

“…But regular updates at local, national and global levels are needed. The first epidemiological data on cerebrovascular diseases in Poland comes from the years 1980-2010 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The most recent studies, both national and regional, were conducted in the last decade [14][15][16][17].…”

background and aim. There is a lack of recent epidemiological studies on recurrent stroke (RS) in Poland. The aim of this study was to analyse all hospitalisations related to RS in Silesia -an industrial region covering 12% of the Polish population.Material and methods. We carried out statistical analysis of data contained in stroke questionnaires transferred to the Polish National Health Fund by hospitals in Silesia, Poland, between 2009 and 2015.results. In the analysed period, the number of RS hospitalisations in Silesia was 18,063 (22.2% of all acute strokes). The percentage of RS significantly decreased during the period under consideration (p < 0.001). The same observation concerned recurrent ischaemic stroke (RIS), but not recurrent haemorrhagic stroke (RHS). The median hospitalisation time was 14 days for RHS, and 11 days for RIS. Large-artery atherosclerosis and cardioembolisms were significantly more often recognised in RIS than in first-ever ischaemic stroke (FIS) (consecutively, 38.2% vs 36.0%, and 21% vs 18.1%; p < 0.001). The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly higher for RS than for first-ever stroke (18.4% vs 17.2%; p < 0.001). The same observation was done for RIS vs FIS (16.2% vs 13.9%; p < 0.001), and for RHS vs FHS (39.8% vs 36%; p = 0.004). The rtPA therapy was applied to 5.3% of FIS and 3.2% of RIS patients (p < 0.001).conclusions. This is the first such comprehensive and long-term analysis of recurrent stroke in Silesia, Poland. It could help in the implementation of appropriate educational programmes, and thus help to improve the health status of society.

Estimates of stroke incidence and case fatality in Zabrze, 2005–2006

Abstract: Incidence rates in this southern Poland city are comparable to those reported previously for Poland. Early case fatality decreased, compared to previous data, probably as a result of improved management of acute stroke and hospitalizing all stroke patients.
