title: [Late sequelae of strokes based on registry data].
abstract: The study was based on the data obtained with the help of the epidemiological method of stroke registration. Of the total number of patients recorded 965 survived an acute stage of the disease; 24 patients were lost to the follow-up, the remaining 941 patients were subjected to analysis. Analysis of the mortality causes showed that the main cause was an underlying disease, predominantly of the circulation system with atherosclerotic genesis. The long-term mortality rate depends on the patient's age, the severity of the stroke, as well as on the presence and severity of attendant diseases (risk factors), the most important of which were atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension, heart diseases of atherosclerotic origin (especially those involving arrhythmia, diabetes mellitus and lung diseases. The frequency and course of repeated brain strokes were studied and some peculiarities of their development as compared to the first stroke were identified. Within 7 years the patients presented good recovery of their motor functions, as well as their ability to care for themselves, to work and to do household chores.
