title: [First results of stroke register in Krasnodar].
abstract: The stroke register started in Krasnodar revealed that the age-standardized stroke morbidity in male patients was 232.3 in 1998, among female--146.6 per 100,000 (p < 0.01), and mortality--90.4 and 69.5 for 100,000, respectively (p < 0.05). At the age before 50 mortality among males is 1.8 times higher, aged 50-69--in 1.4 times higher than in females of the same ages, but after 70 years old, vice versa, it is 1.6 times lower. 39.7% patients were admitted to the hospital, 62.1% of them had mild and moderate stroke. 74.7% patients with severe stroke were treated. In these cases mortality was 61.4% while that in in-patient, 17.8% (p < 0.01). Hypertension appeared to be the main risk factor of stroke (65.7%). Despite the patient's well awareness of this disease (81.8%) 65.2% patients refused to take hypotensive therapy and only 16.9% afflicted with stroke later were regularly treated in appropriate way.
