“…In a study conducted for the period of 11 years in Serbia, more ischemic stroke admissions were reported on weekdays than the weekends. However, contrary to the current study findings, this study reported minimum number of admissions on Sundays, and the maximum on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (39). Cultural and lifestyle issues such as excessive alcohol consumption on the weekend (20,22,23) and rashly beginning the first working day of the week with a lot of stress (20) were among reasons mentioned in similar studies.…”

Background: The incidence of the stroke and its associated disorders has a multifactorial nature. Nowadays, researchers are looking for the relationship between circadian variations and the stroke incidence. Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the incidence of the different types of stroke-induced aphasia in Ahvaz, Iran, on seasonal, diurnal (weekly), and circadian variations. Patients and Methods:In this retrospective hospital-based study, the medical records of 1817 patients with stroke were reread in Ahvaz hospitals in 2011. Types of aphasia were diagnosed based on speech and language symptoms in their records. The data were transferred into the SPSS version 16, for statistical comparison. Results: According to the obtained results 39.9% of the studied patients had a stroke-induced aphasia. The highest incidence rates of aphasia due to the stroke in Ahvaz were, in the summer (38.2%), on Saturdays (16.1%), and 21.1% between 8:00 AM to noon. Chi-square test indicated a significant difference between the mentioned times and other time (P < 0.05). Conclusions: It seems that the incidence of different types of stroke-induced aphasia in Ahvaz is influenced by the calendar-temporal changes. According to the findings, to prevent the occurrence of stroke-induced aphasia, necessary counseling should be provided for lifestyle changes.

Stroke is one of leading causes of death worldwide. Different frequency of stroke occurence is observed in days of the week and months in the year, and incidence of stroke has irregular time pattern. We analyzed 516 patients who had acute stroke and were treated in Clinic of Neurology, Clinical Center Kragujevac from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2014, mean age 72,11±11,52. Statistical analysis is conducted out using the SPSS software version 20.0. We used descriptive statistic, student T-test, chi-square or Fisher exact test.Friday is day we found the most IS and all stroke types occurences, and Wednesday is day we found the most IS in men. We found the most strokes in women younger than 65 years on Wednesday, but in women older than 65 years on Friday. Monday is day with the most admissions to hospital for patients with IS, and we observed that there is average delay in the refering to the doctor for 1.80±1.44 days. Friday is the day with the most ICH symptom beginings and the most admissions to the hospital, and Saturday is the day with the least symptom beginings and admissions to the hospital in the case of IS and ICH. The most IS occured in winter (in Decembar), and the least in summer (in August). The most ICH occured in May, and the least in July and October.We confirmed that there is a significant weekly variability in the IS symptom onset day.

“…Razlika u broju slučajeva moždanog udara radnim danima i danima vikenda se može objasniti i razlikom u organizaciji medicinske službe (147). U danima vikenda u zdravstvenim ustanovama radi manji broj medicinskih profesionalaca i dostupnost dijagnostičkih procedura je smanjena.…”
