Results: The overall age-standardized stroke incidence rate (ASIR) among adults aged 45 years...

...Xingzhu Li; Tianyu Jin; Chen Bai; Xianna Wang; Haojie Zhang; Tong Zhang Introduction: This study aimed to describe the temporal trends of stroke burden in different age and sex groups in China from 1990 to 2021, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs...

... Introduction: No systematic reviews were published in the last years investigating epidemiological data, involving myasthenia gravis (MG) and related myasthenic syndromes. This systematic review aimed to estimate the prevalence, incidence, and mortality of all MG types and myasthenic syndromes worldwide...

... Palladino; Elena Salvatore; Marcello Moccia Objective: The aims of this study were to provide population-based estimates of prevalence and incidence of any dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) in the Campania region (South Italy) and to validate towards a clinical registry.

... identified (55% men) with a median age of 65 years (interquartile range 45, 73; total age range 16–88 years) indicating a crude incidence of 3.1/100,000 person-years for the entire study period. A specific aetiology could be identified in 31 cases (61%) with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) being the most...

... such as Alzheimer’s disease or sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). Objectives: This study aims to identify potential associations of SARS-CoV-2 infections and SARS-CoV-2 immunisation with sCJD incidence, disease duration, and age of onset. Method: We used data from a prospective sCJD surveillance study...

Thrift; Valery Feigin; Lee Nedkoff Introduction: Researchers apply varying definitions when measuring stroke incidence using administrative data. We aimed to investigate...

...Conrad Drescher; Fredrik Buchwald; Teresa Ullberg; Mats Pihlsgård; Bo Norrving; Jesper Petersson Introduction: Although ischemic stroke incidence has decreased in Sweden over the past decade, trends in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) incidence are less well delineated. In this time...

...Mirka Hanhisuanto; Eino Solje; Manu Jokela; Jussi O.T. Sipilä Introduction: The incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) worldwide is approximately 1–2.6/1,000,000 and prevalence is 5–6/100,000. ALS has been suggested to be relatively common in Finland, but epidemiological information...

... incidence and prevalence rates have been reported. Epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence in Germany are lacking. Furthermore, the MG treatment landscape is rapidly changing due to the continued approval of novel monoclonal antibodies. Method: This is a retrospective study assessing incidence...

... decades, many risk factors and preceding events have been identified. There are few up-to-date reports on the TGA incidence in Northern Europe. In this study, we report the incidence and risk factors associated with TGA in Finland. Materials and Methods: The study included all patients with suspected TGA...

... that both SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination may be triggering factors for Guillain-Barré syndrome, but evidence remains equivocal. Here, we conducted a population-based incidence study of Guillain-Barré syndrome spanning the 3 years immediately prior to and the 2 years during the pandemic. Methods: Cases...

...Rabea I. Pantelatos; Shavin Rahim; Anne Vik; Vidar Rao; Tomm B. Müller; Tom I.L. Nilsen; Toril Skandsen Introduction: Few studies account for prehospital deaths when estimating incidence and mortality rates of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI). In a population-based study, covering...

... is essential for planning healthcare services to ensure timely and appropriate management. We aimed to establish the incidence of CES in a single country and stratify incidence by age, gender, and socioeconomic status. As no consensus clinical definition of CES exists, we compared incidence using different...

...Conrad Drescher; Fredrik Buchwald; Teresa Ullberg; Mats Pihlsgård; Bo Norrving; Jesper Petersson Introduction: Ischemic stroke incidence appears to have decreased during the last decades, but most studies focus on the first-ever events and epidemiological data on recurrent stroke are scarce...

.... Estimates of incidence and prevalence of narcolepsy vary between studies, while the contribution of changing diagnostic criteria to the variation remains unclear. We aimed to explore sources of heterogeneity in estimates of incidence and prevalence, with a particular focus on diagnostic criteria. Methods...

Several current challenges are highlighted, including the demographic transition and aging...

... and PubMed, and hand searching were performed (2012 to May 2020). The keywords “Spinal cord injury,” “epidemiology,” “incidence,” and “prevalence” were used. Based on the definition of developing countries by the International Monetary Fund, studies related to developing countries were included. Data...

.... The study outcomes included the 2017 prevalence proportion and incidence rate of HD in the Medicare population and the 2014 prevalence proportion of HD in the Medicaid population. Results: In the Medicare population, 1,941 prevalent and 819 incident cases of HD were identified in 2017, corresponding...

...Angelina Grönberg; Ingrid Henriksson; Martin Stenman; Arne G. Lindgren Introduction: A decrease in ischemic stroke (IS) incidence has been observed in high income countries during the last decades. Whether this has influenced the occurrence of aphasia in IS is uncertain. We therefore examined...
