[Stroke epidemiology and evaluation of risk factors significance for survival of patients during 28 poststroke days in the open population of Chita].
To provide effective primary and secondary stroke prevention, the epidemiological stroke rates were investigated in the open population of a large Transbaykal town by the register method. During one year, 989 cases have been examined in the population aged above 25 years. The age-standardized stroke incidence rate (per 100 000 persons) was 300 in women and 329 in men. The age-standardized stroke morbidity (per 100 000 persons) was 390 in women and 409 in men. Stroke mortality was 77 in women and 81 in men per 100 000 (p = 0.01). The stroke mortality in men was higher than in women. Stroke case fatality was 20% in men and 16% in women. The prevalence and significance of the main cardiovascular risk factors were revealed among patients by case-control study. Hypertension, psychological and social risk factors were the most significant in Chita's population of stroke patients.
