title: [The clinical and socioeconomic aspects of cerebrovascular diseases in Europe (a study in Turin on patients during 12 years of hospitalization)].
abstract: During the period 1976-1987, 295,718 patients affected by vascular diseases have been admitted into all the public and private hospitals of Piemonte (Italy): 172,483 patients were affected by arteriopathies. 95,231 (55.2%) have been admitted because of cerebrovascular diseases: 73,511 (42.6%) were affected by diffuse form (T), 18,258 (26.5%) by TIA and 3,462 (2%) by precerebral stenosis and occlusions. (TSA). These data have been compared to the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in Europe and risk factors, sex, age, department of hospitalizations, kind of therapy and results have been investigated. In Piemonte cerebrovascular diseases show not only the highest incidence among all the vascular diseases, but they seem to be the highest cause of morbidity among all the patients admitted into the hospitals.
