ABSTRACT: Objectives
Stroke is a major global health issue with rising incidence in China. Current estimates often focus on specific deaths, underestimating their impact. This study aimed to quantify and predict the all-cause and cause-specific burden of stroke using real-world data.Design
Population-based study.Participants and setting
Residents in Shanghai Pudong, which covers an area of 1210.41 km² (467.34 mi²) and has a population of 3.17 million, spanning from 2005 to 2021.Outcomes
Stroke-related deaths in Pudong (2005-2021) were analysed by gender, age and subtype. Metrics included crude mortality rates (CMR), age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRW) and years of life lost (YLL). The Joinpoint Regression Programme determined average annual per cent change (AAPC)
