Stroke statistics in Azerbaijan and around the world

Abstract

Why is it important to know the causes of death?
As we know, determining the number and causes of deaths per year is an important way to assess the effectiveness of a country's health system, along with measuring the impact of diseases and injuries on people.
Mortality statistics help health care providers determine the direction of public health interventions.
From this point of view, vascular diseases of the brain are one of the most pressing medical and social problems. Recently, there has been a high increase in the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disorders. In modern times, stroke is the second leading cause of death in most countries and the number one cause of disability.
