Abstract:
Background: Stroke ranks as the 2 nd leading cause of mortality, following ischemic heart disease, within the spectrum of cardiovascular-related deaths. Method: Employing the Global Burden of Disease tool, Stroke prevalence, incidence, mortality, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) by age, sex, and year across the High-Income North America (HINA) countries from 1990-2019. Result: The overall prevalence of stroke increased from 4,796,172 (with a 95%UI:4,289,092-5,345,234) in 1990 to 7,703,036 (95% UI: 6,967,262-8,537,862) in 2019. The annual percentage of change (APC) demonstrated an increment of 22% in incidence, 21% in DALYs, and 23% in mortality from 1990-2019. Notably, the most substantial APC in mortality was observed in Mexico, at 74% from 1990-2019, whereas the lowest increase was seen in the United States at 23% during the same period. Notably, all countries exhibited a significant reduction in the burden of stroke from 1990-2019. Within the age groups, the highest number of deaths, 37,559, occurred among individuals aged 85-89, whereas the highest incidence, 64,422, was noted in the 70-74 age group. In terms of DALYs, the 75-79 age group accounted for 516,753 in 2019. Throughout the assessed period, males bore a greater burden than females. High blood pressure emerged as the leading attributable cause of stroke-related deaths, contributing to 89,009 fatalities in 2019. Conclusion: The burden of stroke within High-Income North America embodies intricate dimensions spanning health, economics, and society. This study underscores the imperative for targeted interventions that address the distinctive challenges posed by stroke within this specific region.
