Update on the Global Burden of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke in 1990-2013: The GBD 2013 Study
Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 161-176 - 2015
Background: Global stroke epidemiology is changing rapidly.
Although age-standardized rates of stroke mortality have decreased worldwide in
the past 2 decades, the absolute numbers of people who have a stroke every year,
and live with the consequences of stroke or die from their stroke, are
increasing. Regular updates on the current level of stroke burden are important
for advancing ...
The Epidemiology of Epilepsy
Tập 54 Số 2 - Trang 185-191 - 2020
Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the brain characterized by an enduring (i.e.,
persisting) predisposition to generate seizures, unprovoked by any immediate
central nervous system insult, and by the neurobiologic, cognitive,
psychological, and social consequences of seizure recurrences. Epilepsy affects
both sexes and all ages with worldwide distribution. The prevalence and the
incidence of epileps...
Population Incidence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 123-133 - 2011
Population incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is required to assess
changes in GBS epidemiology, but published estimates of GBS incidence vary
greatly depending on case ascertainment, definitions, and sample size. We
performed a meta-analysis of articles on GBS incidence by searching Medline
(1966–2009), Embase (1988–2009), Cinahl (1981–2009) and CABI (1973–2009) as well
as article bibliog...
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs for the Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systematic Review
Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 159-169 - 2004
Objective: Alzheimer’s disease, the most prevalent dementia, is a
prominent source of chronic illness in the elderly. Laboratory evidence suggests
that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) might prevent the onset of
Alzheimer’s disease. Since the early 1990s, numerous observational
epidemiological studies have also investigated this possibility. The purpose of
this meta-analysis is...
Validity of Stroke Diagnoses in a National Register of Patients
Tập 28 Số 3 - Trang 150-154 - 2007
Background: Many registers containing routine medical information have
been developed for research and surveillance purposes. In epidemiological
research assessment of endpoints is often conducted via registers. In the
present study we validated stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) diagnoses
in the Danish National Register of Patients (DNRP). Methods: Subjects
from a Danish coh...
Influence of Gender on Baseline Features and Clinical Outcomes among 17,370 Patients with Confirmed Ischaemic Stroke in the International Stroke Trial
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 123-128 - 2005
Aim: We sought to determine whether there were differences between men
and women with acute stroke in their baseline characteristics and outcome in a
large cohort of patients randomized in the International Stroke Trial (IST).
Methods: Of the 19,435 patients randomized in the IST, 17,370 had an
ischemic stroke confirmed by CT scan or autopsy (8,003 female and 9,367 male).
In males an...
Education and Dementia: A Meta-Analytic Study
Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 226-232 - 2006
Considerable controversy exists about the role of education in the risk of
dementia. Individual studies have not been conclusive so far. To examine the
hypothesis that lower education is associated with a higher risk of dementia, we
carried out a meta-analysis. Observational studies published as of October 2005
that examined the association between education and risk of dementia were
systematicall...
Prehospital and In-Hospital Delays in Acute Stroke Care
Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 65-76 - 2001
Current guidelines emphasize the need for early stroke care. However,
significant delays occur during both the prehospital and in-hospital phases of
care, making many patients ineligible for stroke therapies. The purpose of this
study was to systematically review and summarize the existing scientific
literature reporting prehospital and in-hospital stroke delay times in order to
assist future deli...
Atlas of the Global Burden of Stroke (1990-2013): The GBD 2013 Study
Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 230-236 - 2015
Background: World mapping is an important tool to visualize stroke burden and
its trends in various regions and countries. Objectives: To show geographic
patterns of incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years
(DALYs) and years lived with disability (YLDs) and their trends for ischemic
stroke and hemorrhagic stroke in the world for 1990-2013. Methodology: Stroke
incidence, pre...
Seasonal Birth Patterns of Neurological Disorders
Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 177-185 - 2000
Existing seasonal birth studies were reviewed for multiple sclerosis (MS),
Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),
epilepsy, cerebral palsy, congenital malformations of the central nervous system
and mental retardation. Epilepsy appears to have the most consistent pattern,
with an excess of births in winter and a deficit in September. MS, ALS and
possibly Par...
