Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological trend and distribution of stroke mortality in residents of Tianjin, China. Methods The study was based on 102 718 died cases with stroke in Tianjin between 1999 and 2006. The death cause and the stroke typing were coded according to the ICD -9 and ICD -10. Standardized mortality rates were calculated for stroke and its subtypes, adjusted for age and sex according to the world standard population of the Year 2000. The age, sex and geographic distribution of the stroke and its subtype mortality were analyzed. Chi-square tests were used to determine the statistical significance of mortality trends and differences. Results Stroke mortality rate in Tianjin declined from 133.52 / 100 000 / year in 1999 to 102.52 / 100 000/year in 2006. Cerebral infarction accounted for more than 50% of stroke mortality. The stroke mortality rate for males (120.17 / 100 000 to 157.74 /100 000) was higher than that for females (84.87/100 000 to 109.31/100 000). Stroke mortality rates elevated with age (P
