ABSTRACT
Background and Aims: To study the epidemiology and features of the course of stroke in Uzbekistan according to the register for three years, followed by improvement of the system of prevention of patient care. Method(s): The stroke registry method is the best method not only for detecting new and recurrent cases of stroke among permanent residents of a certain region, but also for determining the main epidemiological indicators such as morbidity, mortality, which makes it possible for health authorities to take into account when planning a health care network. Result(s): The stroke registry was conducted throughout the Republic from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.In the first year of the study 63000 cases In the second and third 45479 and 59280 of stroke were registered respectively.The average annual incidence of stroke per 1000 population in 2019 was 1.88, and in 2020 and 2021 this figure was 1.34 and 1.65, respectively. Moreover, the incidence rate tended to decrease from 1.88 to 1.34 per 1000 population in 2019-2020.It should be emphasized that the average annual incidence of stroke in 2020 did not decrease due to a decrease in true incidence rates, but due to the emerging Covid-19 pandemic, in which a large number of patients who had stroke, fearing to contract a viral infection, received treatment at home, without official registration Conclusion(s): When studying the mortality rates from stroke in the Republic for the study period, it was found that the average annual mortality per 1000 population was 0.37, 0.36 and 0.34 in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
