Title: Trends in Incident and Recurrent Rates of First-Ever Ischemic Stroke in Taiwan between 2000 and 2011 Document date: 2015_12_17
ID: 7hj8w0ld_21
Snippet: In conclusion, in accord with recent trends around the world, 2-5 we observed that the annual incidence and one-year recurrence rates of stroke declined over the last decade in Taiwan. However, it would seem that the magnitude of reduction for incident stroke seen in Western nations of approximately 20% was much greater than the more modest 9% decrease noted in Taiwan. We observed a rise in the use of statins, antiplatelet agents, and oral antico.....
Document: In conclusion, in accord with recent trends around the world, 2-5 we observed that the annual incidence and one-year recurrence rates of stroke declined over the last decade in Taiwan. However, it would seem that the magnitude of reduction for incident stroke seen in Western nations of approximately 20% was much greater than the more modest 9% decrease noted in Taiwan. We observed a rise in the use of statins, antiplatelet agents, and oral anticoagulant agents for atrial fibrillation in Taiwan during this period of time, which probably contributed to the declining rate of stroke, but there appears to more room for improvement in risk factor control if Taiwan hopes to gain at least the same level of decrease in incident stroke observed in Western countries.
