Statistical study of lethal stroke.
Deceased cases with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage constituted the subjects of the present study. They were divided into two groups: 127 cases in group 1 (1954-1959) and 427 cases in group 2 (1977-1982). The purpose of the study was to compare clinical data to evidence any statistical difference between groups. No statistically significant difference was noticed, except the increase of age mean in both diagnoses due to the overall increase of age mean of the population (2.5-10 yrs).
