Ischemic Stroke: GBD 2017

Disease Description

Stroke was defined according to WHO criteria - rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin. Data on transient ischaemic attack (TIA) were not included. [WHO-Stroke-Definition]

Strokes in GBD 2017

Ischemic stroke is defined by GBD 2017 as an episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal cerebral, spinal, or retinal infarction. [GBD-2017-YLD-Capstone-Appendix-1-Ischemic-Stroke]

Cause Model Diagram

According to GBD 2017, stroke cases are considered acute from the day of incidence of a first-ever stroke through day 28 following the event. Post, also known as chronic, stroke includes the sequelae of an acute stroke AND all recurrent stroke events. Stroke cases are considered post beginning 28 days following the occurrence of an event. Post stroke includes the sequelae of an acute stroke AND all recurrent stroke events.

S

Susceptible to Ischemic Stroke

Simulant that has not already had an ischemic stroke event

A

Acute Ischemic Stroke

Simulant that is in duration-based period starting day of incidence of a first-ever stroke through day 28 following the event

P

Post Ischemic Stroke

Simulant that has survived more than 28 days following their last ischemic stroke and who may be experiencing chronic elevated mortality and disability due to the event.

Discuss with the RT/SE team how to correctly assign ids into state data and transition equations, based on case definition of IS states.
