title: [Long-term prognosis following cerebrovascular disease].
abstract: A follow-up study on 885 cases of cerebrovascular disease who survived acute stage and were registered through prevalence survey in 1983, had been carried out for 5-8.5 years. The results shown that 34.58% died, 34.13% were independent and 31.29% needed help in various degrees. The older the age was, the worse the prognosis was. After 3, 5 and 8 years, the survival rates of the cases were 86.98%, 75.70% and 64.26% respectively, and all were lower than that in general population. The difference of survival rates between the ischemic cases and the hemorrhagic cases was not found.
