Trends in Incidence and Mortality of Stroke in China From 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. This study aimed to analyze the burden and 30-year trends of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in China. Methods: Data that include incidence and mortality of stroke in China from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2019 were derived from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. The absolute numbers of incident cases and deaths over the time, and age-standardized rates per 100,000, such as age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), were analyzed. Results: In 2019, there were 3.9 (95% uncertainty intervals (UI) 3.4-4.5) million incident cases and 2.1 (3.4-4.5) million deaths related to stroke in China
