Global and regional burden of stroke during 1990-2010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010
Open accessAbstract
Summary Background Although stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, no comprehensive and comparable assessment of incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, and epidemiological trends has been estimated for most regions. We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) to estimate the global and regional burden of stroke during 1990–2010. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, LILACS, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Global Health Database, the WHO library, and WHO regional databases from 1990 to 2012 to identify relevant studies published between 1990 and 2010. We applied the GBD 2010 analytical technique (DisMod-MR), based on disease-specific, pre-specified associations between incidence, prevalence, and mortality, to calculate regional and country-specific estimates of stroke incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost by age group (<75 years, ≥75 years, and in total) and country income level (high-income, and low-income and middle-income) for 1990, 2005, and 2010. Findings We included 119 studies (58 from high-income countries and 61 from low-income and middle-income countries). From 1990 to 2010, the age-standardised incidence of stroke significantly decreased by 12% (95% CI 6–17) in high-income countries, and increased by 12% (–3 to 22) in low-income and middle-income countries, albeit non-significantly. Mortality rates decreased significantly in both high income (37%, 31–41) and low-income and middle-income countries (20%, 15–30). In 2010, the absolute numbers of people with first stroke (16·9 million), stroke survivors (33 million), stroke-related deaths (5·9 million), and DALYs lost (102 million) were high and had significantly increased since 1990 (68%, 84%, 26%, and 12% increase, respectively), with most of the burden (68·6% incident strokes, 52·2% prevalent strokes, 70·9% stroke deaths, and 77·7% DALYs lost) in low-income and middle-income countries. In 2010, 5·2 million (31%) strokes were in children (aged <20 years old) and young and middle-aged adults (20–64 years), to which children and young and middle-aged adults from low-income and middle-income countries contributed almost 74 000 (89%) and 4·0 million (78%), respectively, of the burden. Additionally, we noted significant geographical differences of between three and ten times in stroke burden between GBD regions and countries. More than 62% of new strokes, 69·8% of prevalent strokes, 45·5% of deaths from stroke, and 71·7% of DALYs lost because of stroke were in people younger than 75 years. Interpretation Although age-standardised rates of stroke mortality have decreased worldwide in the past two decades, the absolute number of people who have a stroke every year, stroke survivors, related deaths, and the overall global burden of stroke (DALYs lost) are great and increasing. Further study is needed to improve understanding of stroke determinants and burden worldwide, and to establish causes of disparities and changes in trends in stroke burden between countries of different income levels.

The paper relies on this without support.
No comprehensive and comparable assessment of stroke incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability burden, and recent epidemiological trends has been estimated for most world regions.
“However, no comprehensive and comparable assessment of stroke incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability burden (as measured by DALYs lost), and recent epidemiologic trends has been estimated for most world regions.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The direction of effect of selected covariates on stroke mortality is plausible based on existing scientific literature.
“We selected a set of relevant covariates and assumed a plausible direction of effect on the basis of existing scientific literature (appendix).”
The authors state this as an assumption.
A hierarchy of risk exists that would be retained in the model.
“We assumed that a hierarchy of risk existed that would be retained in the model.”

Disability is the same for haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke during the hyperacute phase (1-3 days after event).
“We assumed the same disability for haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke during the hyperacute phase (ie, 1–3 days after the event)”

§ Global and regional burden of stroke during 1990–2010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 > Discussion
“the similar pattern of decline in stroke incidence and mortality suggests that changes in mortality rates are most likely to be attributable to the corresponding changes in incidence.”
§ Global and regional burden of stroke during 1990–2010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 > Discussion
“we did not note a strong parallel between changes in stroke incidence and mortality, suggesting that factors contributing to stroke incidence and mortality or their changes (including level of exposure to those factors) over time might be different.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
