Global Burden of Stroke.
Seminars in Neurology 2018 April
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. Its incidence is increasing because the population ages. In addition, more young people are affected by stroke in low- and middle-income countries. Ischemic stroke is more frequent but hemorrhagic stroke is responsible for more deaths and disability-adjusted life-years lost.

This article reviews the epidemiological and clinical data concerning stroke incidence and burden around the globe.
