Clinical epidemiology of stroke

D W Thompson et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

The effect of stroke as a major health issue in the United States is well established. Well-designed epidemiologic studies have contributed important information about the natural history of stroke and its associated risk factors. These cerebrovascular profiles have provided the foundation for many of the current ischemic stroke trials, but the cause and prevention of the hemorrhagic subtypes remain elusive.
