[Incidence of stroke among the adult population of the Cracow-Nowa Huta district].
The analysis of the first admission to hospitals showed that nearly 90% of patients with manifestations of brain stroke were referred to neurological departments. The indices of incidence calculated on the basis of first admissions were usually low, which was due to young age of the studied population. A comparison of the incidence indices standardized or age in the Nowa Huta values were nearly identical. The pattern of diagnoses resembled that reported by other authors. The most frequently observed form of brain stroke was infarction, diagnosed in over 50% of cases.
