[Cerebral vascular complications in the population of Dijon. Incidence-breakdown-mortality].
Since 1985, a stroke registry has registered every stroke in this town, of about 140,000 inhabitants. A CT Scan and numerous sources of information have allowed to achieve an exhaustive survey. The annual incidence of stroke has been 145/100,000. The annual specific incidence for age is 170/100,000 in men, 126/100,000 in women. The annual specific incidence for age and sex has shown a female preponderance until 30 and a male preponderance after this age. At 80, the rates became equal. Sixty-eight per cent of stroke were due to an infarct, 12 p. 100 to lacunae, 5 p. 100 to subarachnoid hemorrhage and 15% to cerebral hemorrhage. A preponderance of young people was found in subarachnoid hemorrhage, of the fifth decade in cerebral hemorrhage, while infarct rose up with age in the 2 sexes. Infarcts appeared predominantly during winter, while transient ischemic attacks appeared more often during summer. Cerebral hemorrhage had a constant incidence over the year. Mortality was high, mainly during the first month with 12.5 p. 100 during the first week, 21.5 p. 100 during the first month, and 30 p. 100 the first year. Our results appear to set in the mean of white occidental countries as opposed to Japan. They emphasize the important and underestimated place of lacunae and the seasonal variations of several causal varieties of stroke.
