Global stroke statistics 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Contemporary data on stroke epidemiology and the availability of national stroke clinical registries are important for providing evidence to improve practice and support policy decisions.

Aims

To update the most current incidence, case-fatality, and mortality rates on stroke and identify national stroke clinical registries worldwide.

Methods

We searched multiple databases (based on our existing search strategy) to identify new original papers, published between 1 November 2018 and 15 December 2021, that met ideal criteria for data on stroke incidence and case-fatality, and added these to the studies reported in our last review. To identify national stroke clinical registries, we updated our last search, using PubMed, from 6 February 2015 until 6 January 202
