National trends in stroke hospitalisations, mortality, and recurrent stroke in Australia and New Zealand.

ABSTRACT: Robust data on trends in stroke hospitalisation rate and outcomes are needed to improve stroke care, yet are sparse and show conflicting results. We investigated the trends in hospitalisation rate, survival, and risk of stroke recurrence following an acute stroke using population-wide data from Australia and New Zealand over a 10-year period. We included adults aged ≥ 18 years hospitalised with an acute stroke from 2008 to 17. Age- and sex-standardized trends of stroke hospitalisation were calculated. Flexible parametric survival models were used to estimate and assess trends in survival and cumulative incidence of stroke recurrence at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years. 331,016 patients were included (mean age 73.2 ± 14.5 years, 48.0% female), with ischaemic stroke (185,800, 56.1%) being the mos
