Morbidity and mortality from strokes in Kyrgyzstan

Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer from stroke. Of these, 5 million die, and another 5 million remain disabled for life, which places a heavy burden on families and society. 
The purpose of the study is an epidemiological analysis of the morbidity and mortality from stroke in the Kyrgyz Republic. Materials and methods. Statistical indicators for assessing the dynamics of morbidity (newly registered cases) and mortality from stroke for the period 2018-2022 in the republic were calculated according to the annual official statistical collections of morbidity and deaths from stroke. Results. We have analyzed morbidity and mortality data separately for the administrative- territorial units of the republic for 5 years. The average annual morbidity and mortality rate in the regions of the country has significant differences in different years, while in many areas this indicator exceeds the national level. The diagnosis of "Unspecified strokes, such as hemorrhage or I64 infarction" has a fairly high level in all regions of the republic. A comparative analysis of morbidity and mortality statistics shows that stroke mortality rates significantly exceed morbidity rates both in the republic as a whole and in the regions. Conclusions. A significant difference in mortality and morbidity rates by region, as well as their excess of national indicators, raises doubts about the reliability of statistical data. For an accurate analysis of the quality and planning of therapeutic and preventive measures for cerebrovascular diseases, it is necessary to streamline stroke statistics
