We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) to estimate the global and regional burden of stroke during 1990.2010. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, LILACS, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Global Health Database, the WHO library, and WHO regional databases from 1990 to 2012 to identify relevant studies published between 1990 and 2010. We applied the GBD 2010 analytical technique (DisMod-MR), based on disease-specifi c, pre-specifi ed associations between incidence, prevalence, and mortality, to calculate regional and country-specifi c estimates of stroke incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost by age group ( | Source Title: | The Lancet | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/125393 | ISSN: | 01406736 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0140-6736(13)61953-4 |
