Stroke Mortality Rates and Trends in Romania, 1994-2017

Background and Aim: Romanian national level stroke mortality data is relatively scarce. The current study investigated stroke mortality rates and trends in Romania. Methods: All individual deaths registered in Romania during 1994-2017 were analyzed using an anonymized database, based on death certificates. Stroke crude mortality rates (CMR) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) were calculated and expressed per 100,000 persons-year. Results: Between 1994 and 2017, 6,281,873 persons died in Romania, stroke being registered as the underlying cause of death in 959,319 cases.
