Incidence, early case fatality and determinants of stroke in Iran: Golestan Cohort Study
Stroke is a neurological deficit secondary to an acute focal central nervous system injury caused by a vascular origin.1 In 2019, stroke was considered the second cause of death worldwide, accounting for 125 million Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs).2 In addition to physical disability, stroke causes tremendous emotional distress and a significant economic burden.3 Studies suggest that the global burden of stroke has been increasing during the past few decades. This increase has been attributed to aging populations and the rising prevalence of risk factors, particularly in low and middle-income countries.
