Deans' stroke musings: 1975 to 2019 Saw Decrease in Stroke Mortality for Men, Women

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

1975 to 2019 Saw Decrease in Stroke Mortality for Men, Women

Quit your invalid chest thumping, you've done nothing to address the absolute failure of only 10% full recovery!

1975 to 2019 Saw Decrease in Stroke Mortality for Men, Women

There was a decrease in age-standardized stroke mortality for men and women from 1975 to 2019.

HealthDay News — From 1975 to 2019, there was a decrease in age-standardized stroke mortality for men and women, according to a study recently published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Cande V. Ananth, Ph.D., M.P.H., from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and colleagues conducted a sequential time series analysis to examine stroke mortality trends among 4,332,220 people aged 18 to 84 years in the United States between 1975 and 2019. Trends in overall, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke were examined.

The researchers found that from 1975 to 2019, there was a decrease in age-standardized stroke mortality from 87.5 to 30.9 per 100,000 (incidence rate ratio, 0.27; average annual decline, −2.78 percent). Among men, the age-standardized mortality rate decreased from 112.1 to 38.7 per 100,000 (incidence rate ratio, 0.26; average annual decline, −2.80 percent). With increasing age, stroke mortality increased sharply. A steeper decline in ischemic than in hemorrhagic strokes was observed.

“The contribution of predisposing risk factors to declines in stroke mortality underscores opportunities to develop public health campaigns and interventions to reduce untoward behaviors that negatively affect stroke and metabolic health,” the authors write.
