[Future numbers of patients with a cerebrovascular accident in The Netherlands].
Based on future population size estimates, and sex and age specific CVA incidence rates, the yearly number of new cases of CVA in the Netherlands is projected up to 2020. Compared with 1991 the number of patients with a first CVA will increase by at least 4 and at most 6 per cent in 1995, to 41-62 per cent in 2020. Because the prevalence and the number of handicapped patients will probably be much lower, future attention should primarily be directed at support of early phase care facilities.
