Survival models Kaplan–Meier models show that treatment with PVA is associated with reductions in both stroke and heart failure events, as well as deaths in a hospital setting. In the matched PVA versus general AF cohorts, all p-values for statistical significance of treatment cohort are <...
Moreover, 85% of all stroke deaths occur in low-income countries, which also account for 87% of stroke-related disability-adjusted life–years. In the UK, stroke treatment and productivity-loss result in societal costs of £8.9 billion a year, with care costs accounting for approximately 5%...
Stroke events and all deaths were annually registered.We observed 908 incident strokes (366 in women) from 1992 to 2012. Women were significantly younger than men (64±12 versus 68±11 years) in 1992 to 1998 (P=0.024). The incidence of first-ever stroke per 100 000 person-years for men...
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for approximately 12% of total deaths, with an increasing burden particularly in low-income countries6. Characterized by a neurological deficit of sudden onset, stroke is predominantly caused by cerebral ischaemia (of which the main...
Between 1990 and 2019, ICH and SAH demonstrated more significant reductions worldwide in age-standardized rates per year, compared to ischemic stroke, for incident and prevalent strokes, deaths resulting from stroke, and DALYs due to stroke.[22] ...
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation, bronchial reversible obstruction and hyperresponsiveness to direct or indirect stimuli. It is a problem worldwide with estimated 495,000 deaths every year, thus possessing a significant public health burden [1]. Asth...
Older patients account for most strokes, and a previous study suggested that cryptogenic TIA/stroke associated with PFO at older ages is common,6 with an estimated number of 6000 cryptogenic TIA/nondisabling strokes every year in the UK in patients older than 60 years with large PFOs, suggesting...
