Trends and Disparities in Hemorrhagic Stroke and Hypertension-Related Mortality in the United States From 1999 to 2023: A CDC WONDER Database Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemorrhagic stroke remains a major cause of mortality, with hypertension being a key modifiable risk factor. Despite advancements in management, demographic and geographic disparities persist. This study aims to analyze hemorrhagic stroke-related mortality trends among hypertensive adults in the United States from 1999 to 2023, stratified by sex, race, and geographic location.

Methods

We utilized death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database for individuals aged ≥ 25 years from 1999 to 2023. Crude mortality rates (CMR) and Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 persons were calculated, and annual percentage change (APC) were determined using Joinpoint regression analysis.

Results

From 1999 to 2023, a total of 372,922 deaths were identified r
