What an absolute useless pile of shit. NOTHING ON 100% RECOVERY! Just maybe stroke survivors might want to know that.

Global stroke statistics 2022
Abstract
Background:
Contemporary
data on stroke epidemiology and the availability of national stroke
clinical registries are important for providing evidence to improve
practice and support policy decisions.
Aims:
To
update the most current incidence, case-fatality, and mortality rates
on stroke and identify national stroke clinical registries worldwide.
Methods:
We
searched multiple databases (based on our existing search strategy) to
identify new original papers, published between 1 November 2018 and 15
December 2021, that met ideal criteria for data on stroke incidence and
case-fatality, and added these to the studies reported in our last
review. To identify national stroke clinical registries, we updated our
last search, using PubMed, from 6 February 2015 until 6 January 2022. We
also screened reference lists of review papers, citation history of
papers, and the gray literature. Mortality codes for International
Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 were extracted from the
World Health Organization (WHO) for each country providing these data.
Population denominators were obtained from the United Nations (UN) or
WHO (when data were unavailable in the UN database). Crude and adjusted
stroke mortality rates were calculated using country-specific population
denominators, and the most recent years of mortality data available for
each country.
Results:
Since
our last report in 2020, there were two countries (Chile and France)
with new incidence studies meeting criteria for ideal population-based
studies. New data on case-fatality were found for Chile and Kenya. The
most current mortality data were available for the year 2014 (1
country), 2015 (2 countries), 2016 (11 countries), 2017 (10 countries),
2018 (19 countries), 2019 (36 countries), and 2020 (29 countries). Four
countries (Libya, Solomon Islands, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon)
reported mortality data for the first time. Since our last report on
registries in 2017, we identified seven more national stroke clinical
registries, predominantly in high-income countries. These newly
identified registries yielded limited information.
Conclusions:
Up-to-date
data on stroke incidence, case-fatality, and mortality continue to
provide evidence of disparities and the scale of burden in low- and
middle-income countries. Although more national stroke clinical
registries were identified, information from these newly identified
registries was limited. Highlighting data scarcity or even where a
country is ranked might help facilitate more research or greater policy
attention in this field.
Introduction
The
worldwide burden of stroke remains massive, and there is a continued
need to understand trends of the disease and its impact on each country,
to guide policy decisions and healthcare planning. We have previously
reported stroke statistics by country.1–3
We have also previously recognized the value of national stroke
clinical registries, not just for routine monitoring of patient
characteristics, access to clinical care, and health outcomes, but also
their potential to be a reliable supplement or substitute for
epidemiological studies in countries where a large proportion of the
population is hospitalized.3,4
This fourth issue is part of an ongoing series to update information on
(1) stroke incidence, case-fatality and mortality, and availability of
national stroke clinical registries around the world; and (2) highlight
where data are lacking or outdated.
