Incidence and case-fatality rate of stroke in General Villegas, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The EstEPA population study
Stroke epidemiology varies among different populations. Ethnicity, socioeconomic factors and local standards for risk factors management may explain, at least in part, this phenomenon.1 Burden of stroke is particularly high in low- and middle-income countries such as those in Latin America2, and it is expected to grow driven by aging of the general population, the high prevalence of vascular risk factors and overall declining stroke mortality.3 Latin America is a diverse region in terms of social, cultural and economic aspects.

Predictive factors for the development of epilepsy after ischemic stroke
In Argentina, each year approximately 50,000 people suffer an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke1 and 340,000 people over 40 years old live with a history of stroke.2 The advent of therapies such as thrombolysis and thrombectomy achieved a substantial reduction in morbidity and mortality.3 In addition, stroke survivors have an increased risk of spontaneous seizures and the number of people who have survived a stroke but have motor, visual or cognitive sequelae is high.4 Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a condition where seizures occur more than 7 days after stroke, with a high risk of recurrent unprovoked seizures over the subsequent 10-years.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusion in Argentina: An Economic Analysis
This study was designed to estimate the economic value and the budget impact of incorporating MT after thrombolysis, simulating scenarios from Argentinian compulsory social health insurance (Obras Sociales) and private insurances (Empresas de Medicina Prepaga).

Cerebral venous thrombosis in Argentina: clinical presentation, predisposing factors, outcomes and   literature review
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon medical condition that primarily affects young individuals.  Previous studies suggest an annual incidence rate of 1-12/1,000,000 cases, representing 0.5% to 3% of all stroke.1-4 CVT is more common in childbearing women, usually associated with a transient prothrombotic state (e.g. pregnancy, puerperium, exposure to oral contraceptives).5

Stroke Epidemiology in Argentina. Design of a Population-Based Study in General Villegas (EstEPA)
Epidemiological data on stroke is scarce in Latin America. Estudio Epidemiol ógico Poblacional sobre Accidente Cerebrovascular (EstEPA) is a population-based program planned to assess prevalence, incidence, mortality, and burden of disease for stroke in the Department of General Villegas, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Young Patients with Stroke in Argentina
Fabry disease (FD) is an underdiagnosed cause of stroke in young adults, but the frequency of this association is largely unknown. We estimated the prevalence of FD in a nationwide cohort of young adults who had stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in Argentina.

Seasonal Variation and Trends in Stroke Hospitalizations and Mortality in a South American Community Hospital
Numerous studies have reported the presence of temporal variations in biological processes. Seasonal variation (SV) in stroke has been widely studied, but little data have been published on this phenomenon in the Southern Hemisphere, and there have been no studies reported from Argentina. The goals of the present study were to describe the SV of admissions and deaths for stroke and examine trends in stroke morbidity and mortality over a 3-year period in a community hospital in Argentina. Hospital discharge reports from the electronic database of vital statistics between 1999 and 2001 were examined retrospectively. Patients...
