Atlas of the Global Burden of Stroke (1990-2013): The GBD 2013 StudyNeuroepidemiology - 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

The Female Stroke Survival Advantage: Relation to AgeNeuroepidemiology - Tập 32 Số 1 - Trang 47-52 - 2009
Tom Skyhøj Olsen, Christian Dehlendorff, Klaus Kaae Andersen
Background: Age-related hormonal factors are thought to be related to the
gender gap in longevity. Testing the hypothesis that survival is best in young
premenopausal women we studied the effect of age on 1-week mortality in stroke
patients. Methods: A registry was started in 2001 with the aim of
registering all hospitalized patients in Denmark. The patients’ risk factors,
stroke sev... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of Gender on Baseline Features and Clinical Outcomes among 17,370 Patients with Confirmed Ischaemic Stroke in the International Stroke TrialNeuroepidemiology - Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 123-128 - 2005
Maciej Niewada, Adam Kobayashi, Peter Sandercock, Bogumił Kamiński, Anna Członkowska
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... hiện toàn bộ
Sex-Related Time-Dependent Variations in Post-Stroke Survival – Evidence of a Female Stroke Survival AdvantageNeuroepidemiology - Tập 29 Số 3-4 - Trang 218-225 - 2007
Tom Skyhøj Olsen, Christian Dehlendorff, Klaus Kaae Andersen
Background: Women live longer than men, yet most studies show that gender
has no influence on survival after stroke. Methods: A registry was
started in 2001, with the aim of registering all hospitalized stroke patients in
Denmark, and it now holds 39,484 patients of which 48% are female. We studied
the influence of gender on post-stroke mortality, from the time of admission
through t... hiện toàn bộ
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis among 1991 Gulf War Veterans: Evidence for a Time-Limited OutbreakNeuroepidemiology - Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 28-32 - 2008
Ronnie D. Horner, Steven C. Grambow, Cynthia J. Coffman, Jennifer H. Lindquist, Eugene Ž. Oddone, Kelli D. Allen, Edward J. Kasarskis
Background: In follow-up to recent reports of an elevated risk of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) among 1991 Gulf War veterans, we analyzed
the distribution of disease onset times to determine whether the excess risk was
time limited. Methods: This secondary analysis used data from a
population-based series of ALS cases identified between 1991 and 2001 among the
2.5 million milit... hiện toàn bộ
Association of Cigarette Smoking with Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisNeuroepidemiology - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 194-202 - 1999
Freya Kamel, David M. Umbach, Theodore L. Munsat, Jeremy M. Shefner, Dale P. Sandler
We explored the relationship between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and
cigarette smoking in a case-control study conducted in New England from 1993 to
1996. Recently diagnosed ALS cases (n = 109) were recruited from two major
referral centers. Population controls (n = 256) were identified by random
telephone screening. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. After adjusting
for age, sex, ... hiện toàn bộ
Incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and of the Parkinsonism-Dementia Complex of Guam, 1950–1989Neuroepidemiology - Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 192-200 - 2004
Stephen C. Waring, Cony Esteban-Santillan, Dwayne Reed, Ulla-Katrina Craig, Darwin R. Labarthe, Ronald C. Petersen, Leonard T. Kurland
Studies representing the accumulated information from the first 30 years of
research effort on Guam (1950–1979) have demonstrated a varying degree of
decline in the incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the
parkinsonism-dementia complex (PDC) of Guam. Analysis with more complete
information for the period 1980–1989 provides more valid estimates of the later
patterns in the incidence... hiện toàn bộ
